This creamy dream, the famous Malibu Piña Colada, is a tropical drink with roots in Puerto Rico, and boy, does it make you feel like you’re chilling on a sunny beach.
It beautifully marries together Malibu Original, Coconut Cream, and pineapple juice to create a taste of paradise. Served in a Hurricane Glass and garnished with a fancy slice of Pineapple and a Maraschino Cherry, giving it an island vacation vibe!
Now, let’s chat history – and this tropical beauty of a drink was born in the Caribbean, although the exact origin remains a subject of debate, but it sounds to us like it was a fruity tale of bartenders who probably wore a Hawaiian shirt before they were cool.
Legend has it that it was born in a resort in the outskirts of San Juan, Puerto Rico during the 1950s. Where a talented barman mixed local rum with Coconut Cream, Heavy Cream, and fresh Pineapple Juice, creating an instant hit — and icon was born, and the rest is history!
But let’s not forget the star of the show – Malibu Original. It’s like a Caribbean vacation in a bottle, and when it joins forces with the Piña Colada, it’s like a dynamic duo of deliciousness. The sweet, coconutty goodness of Malibu takes this classic cocktail to a whole new level of taste.
Piña Colada is Spanish and literally means “strained pineapple”!
It’s named after one of its main ingredients, Pineapple Juice.
Well, that’s up to you. But yes, our version of Piña Colada, the Malibu Piña Colada, sure does contain alcohol. It’s made with Malibu Original.
It depends. Traditional Piña Coladas typically contain Cream of Coconut, which is naturally dairy-free, although some bars and restaurants might add dairy to it. So, if you’re out and about looking to enjoy a Piña Colada and are lactose intolerant or vegan, it’s best to ask, or even better, make your own at home using our recipe above!
