Ci risiamo...questo è il mio solito consiglio: allora riempite un bicchiere di ghiaccio, fate raffreddare adeguatamente il bicchere...contemporaneamente  versate nel frullatere del ghiaccio(2-3 cubetti), uniamo poi al ghiaccio anke 3cl di rum bianco(pampero), altri 3cl di batida de coco e 9 cl di succo d'ananas...frulliamo il tutto e versiamo nel bicchiere ke avevamo precedentemente raffreddato...guarnite con dell' ananas o del cocco e servite.

cherry or both. The piña colada has been the official beverage of Puerto Rico since 1978.The Piña Colada was introduced on August 16, 1954 at the Caribe Hilton’s Beachcomber Bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico by its alleged creator, Ramon "Monchito" Marrero. Apparently, the hotel management had expressly requested Monchito to mix a new signature drink that would delight the demanding palates of its starstudded clientele. Monchito accepted the challenge, and after 3 intense months of blending, shaking and experimenting, the first Piña Colada was born. This story is more credible because the Piña Colada contains cream of coconut as one of the primary ingredients, and the cream of coconut "Coco López" (which is the pioneer) was invented in 1954 in the University of Puerto Rico by Ramón López Irizarry. This story is confirmed by José L. Díaz De Villegas in his book "Puerto Rico La Gran Cocina Del Caribe".This cocktail has been famous in Puerto Rico since 1978, and it became more widely known after Rupert Holmes released his song "Escape" commonly known as "The Piña Colada Song."There are many recipes of how to make a Piña Colada but the one that his friends tell in the book of José L. Díaz De Villegas to be the original recipe created by Monchito, is the following, pour 3 ounces of coconut cream, 6 ounces of pineapple juice and 1 1/2 ounces of white rum into a blender or shaker with crushed ice, and blend or shake until smooth. Pour into chilled glass, garnish with pineapple wedge and/or a maraschino cherry.When mixed with vodka, it is called a King Henry.
