Actually the Piña Colada was invented at the Barrachina restaurant on Fortelaeza St in Old San Juan in the 60's.

Actually....."The Piña Colada was created by Ramon “Monchito” Marrero in 1954 while working as a bartender at the Caribe Hilton."

(Have no idea which account is true, but the Caribe Hilton has the earliest claim I can find!)

Well maybe you're right, that was a few years earlier then when I arrived in the Caribbean in 1964 and at the time the only rum drink with a name was the Cuba Libre or Rum Punch.
But in the late 60's the Barrachina claimed they were the originators <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
