Just a quick two-hour flight from the states, Puerto Rico is the ideal island escape. The Caribe Hilton provides quaint global allure with the comforts of dwelling and it was the place the Piña Colada recipe was created.
At a time while tourism was simply getting began in Puerto Rico, huge and normally over-the-top hotels have been constructed with the aid of means of the airways and fundamental hoteliers of the day. Think marble and chandeliers within the grand foyer beginning out to a sandy beach. French cooks have been imported and delicacies was magnificent though with European flair. But friends needed unique island flavors and a tropical feeling for his or her island vacation.
Enter bartender Ramón “Monchito” Marrero in 1954, who labored at Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico. Experimenting for 3 months and benefiting from the availability of native rum distilleries, he invented the Piña Colada. it was an immediate success. He personally continued to serve them on the lodge for one other 35 years. In 1978, the cocktail was named Puerto Rico’s official nationwide drink.
I don’t recognize about you but while it begins raining proper proper here within the Pacific Northwest I bounce making airline reservations. Puerto Rico and a Piña Colada sounds truly nice proper now.
