Description:
Piña Colada by Demeter Fragrance Library is a luscious mixture of Cream of Coconut, Fresh Pineapple and Light Rum, all married to a perfect sweetness and richness.
In the 1950’s in Puerto Rico, a man named Don Ramon Lopez-Irazzy developed a delicious homogenized cream made from coconut. The product was used for tropical dishes and desserts. But the best was yet to come.
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 in his later cocktail books and called it the Bahia.
The trick to making a great Piña Colada is to use both light and dark rum, a dash of bitters and a little double cream, which creates a drink with a much more complex flavor.
