Piña Colada Day
July 10 · Level 2 · #1883 of 2238
The piña colada is a chilled cocktail of rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice. Its day lands in the middle of summer, when everyone craves something tropical and icy.
How it is celebrated: people blend the drink with ice, serve it in a tall glass with a pineapple wedge and a cherry, and anyone skipping alcohol makes a virgin version.
The drink comes from Puerto Rico, which officially made it the island's national drink in 1978. The Spanish name means "strained pineapple".
