colada
Tropical blended beverage
Colada most often appears in piña colada, the sweet rum cocktail made with pineapple juice and coconut cream.
The Spanish word means strained, describing how the drink is prepared.
Outside that phrase, colada rarely appears in English, though some Cuban coffee drinks use the term for coffee meant to be shared from a single cup.
