Nothing screams summer fun more than a frozen, refreshing Pina Colada. But instead of the basic, everyday cocktail, try something more elaborate this summer, just in time for your National Pina Colada Day celebrations on July 10th.
There are different claims to the invention of the Pina Colada beginning in 1952 in San Juan, each sticking to their story. The truth is that pineapple and rum have been together from the beginning of the distillation of rum with the first written reference to a Pina Colada in 1922. No matter when the Pina Colada was created or by who, today we can enjoy this refreshing cocktail anytime but especially for National Pina Colada Day!
