Piña Colada cocktail: A Hilton First

The Piña Colada was created by Ramon “Monchito” Marrero in 1954 while working as a bartender in our hotel Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Years later in 1978 Puerto Rico declared the cocktail the national drink of the island. This unique video testimony from Caribe Hiltons' senior bartenders takes you on a time journey through the history of our hotel, the life of our "Monchito" and the process behind the creation of the infamous cocktail.
