piña colada

Creamy rum drink

A piña colada is a sweet tropical cocktail made with rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, typically blended with ice and served with a cherry or pineapple garnish.

The drink evokes beach vacations and Caribbean leisure: We sipped piña coladas by the pool.

The name is Spanish for "strained pineapple."
