History

The creation of the Pia Colada is often attributed to Ramn “Monchito” Marrero, a bartender at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Marrero is said to have perfected the recipe in 1954, after months of experimentation to craft a drink that represented the islands vibrant flavors. The Pia Colada quickly gained popularity and was declared Puerto Rico’s official drink in 1978, cementing its place in the countrys culture.
