pina colada

Creamy beach drink

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

The drink originated in Puerto Rico and became widely popular as a vacation and beach resort staple.

We sipped piña coladas by the pool.

The name comes from Spanish for "strained pineapple." The song "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" cemented the drink's association with carefree romance in popular culture.
