Jasmiña Colada Daniel Barros

Born in Puerto Rico, the piña colada was first reported as the drink offered by the pirate Roberto Cofresí to raise the morale of his crew in the 19th century. Lost in time, the recipe was only to be recreated in 1954 by Ramon Marrero, a barman at the Caribe Hilton, who determined the optimal ratio of pineapple, coconut and rum that synthesized the Puerto Rican identity. In 1978, the country finally declared the piña colada as their national drink. The secret of the cocktail is the shock of tangy and sweet, fresh and hot, creating a contrast that stimulates both taste and smell. Jasmiña Colada preserves the original concept of the cocktail, adding lush tropical flowers, and a soft and salty background that evokes the relaxing sea breeze and the skin tanned by the sun.
