Others have stated that it was in 1957 that a San Juan bartender created this mixture of unique flavours of Puerto Rico. In contrast however, others have suggested that the man responsible for the Pina Colada was not in fact from the Caribbean but from Europe instead. Ricardo Gracia, born in Barcelona Spain in 1914 was said to have invented this cocktail.
Moving forward and regardless of its origin, the Pina Colada is now known as the official beverage of Puerto Rico. With its widespread popularity, today, the Pina Colada is a modern classic enjoyed worldwide.
