National Piña Colada Day is celebrated annually on July 10th in the United States, dedicated to the tropical and refreshing cocktail known as the piña colada. The piña colada, which means “strained pineapple” in Spanish, is a sweet cocktail made with rum, coconut cream or coconut milk, and pineapple juice, often served either blended or shaken with ice. Originating from Puerto Rico, the piña colada has become a symbol of relaxation and island paradise, evoking images of sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. National Piña Colada Day is an opportunity for people to indulge in this beloved summer drink, whether by visiting their favorite bar or restaurant to enjoy a professionally made cocktail or by blending up their own version at home. It’s a day to celebrate the flavors and spirit of the tropics, bringing a taste of vacation to everyday life.
