Library of Fragrance Cologne Kahala Piña Colada

Over the years the Piña Colada has become the typical tropical cocktail, and while not Hawaiian in origin, it is Hawaiian by assimilation.

In 1950’s Puerto Rico, Don Ramon Lopez-Irazzy developed a delicious homogenized cream made from coconut. The product became know as Coco Lopez and was used for tropical dishes and desserts.

In 1957, Ramon Marrero, a bartender at Puerto Rico’s Caribe Hilton, combined coconut cream with rum, pineapple juice and ice in a blender to create this famous drink. Victor Bergon, of Trader Vic’s borrowed Marrero’s recipe and called it the Bahia.

To make a great Piña Colada, the trick is to use both light and dark rum, a dash of bitters and a little double cream. Kahala’s Piña Colada is a luscious mixture of Cream of Coconut, Fresh Pineapple and Light Rum, blended to a perfect sweetness and richness.
