Who Invented the Pina Colada?
Legend has it that this famous cocktail was created during Prohibition (1920-1933) at Don Ramon Lopez's restaurant. In Havana, Ramon Marrero combined Puerto Rican rum, Jamaican blackstrap rum, Coco Lopez cream of coconut extract, and local pineapple juice. He got the pineapples from pineapples grown on his plantation outside Cienfuegos (which later became known as Piña CoLoa).
