Piña Colada

The Piña Colada is the poster child for tiki drinks and island vacations. The tropical cocktail, first blended in the 1950s in Puerto Rico, combines rum, coconut, pineapple, and lime juice. Don't let the premade mixes fool you — the best Piña Coladas are made from scratch in a blender or shaker.
