Oh yeah. But my first experience with 22 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: the pina colada actually was a non alcoholic pinicolata because 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: in the town I grew up in, which is a 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: very small town, they have this huge touristy festival called 25 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: gold Rush in October, and it's like the whole thing. 26 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: It's the whole thing. If you've you've grown up in 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: a small town, you know what I'm talking about. But 28 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: like everyone knows it's coming. Everyone's complaining about parking and tourists, 29 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: but at the same time you want it to happen 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: because you need the money. It's a small town. 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: Anyway, I really liked it, but my parents hated it. 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: But I was in marching band, so that was my way. 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: I was able to get there. But there was this 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: stand because essentially it's like it's celebrating the discovery of 36 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: gold or Dahlanago and it's just like a bunch of 37 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: benders set up tents and they sell their wares. There's 38 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: like really probably not great amusement rise, the kind that 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: you get on and you're like, oh, dear. 40 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: Like oh taking my life in my hands on you. 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like some creaking that really shouldn't be happening. 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: And then there's a lot of like food stands and 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: drink stands, and I loved There was one where they 44 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: made pina coladas. I'm pretty sure they were all non alcoholic, 45 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: but anyway, I couldn't have gotten it. I wouldn't have 46 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: gotten one, and I couldn't have but I'm pretty sure 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: they didn't sell an alcoholic version. But you would know 48 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: that because the stands moved every year. Is it got 49 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger, and you would just follow the sight 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: of people with those like big tourist cups, you know, 51 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: like the chips, Yeah, and I'd be like, oh, they're near.

I was like, I'll have the 74 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: pina colada, please, here's my money. I did have a 75 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: feeling with it. You can see our past cocktail episodes. 76 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: I feel like we've done several things adjacent. 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely dakery and my tie, Yeah yeah. 78 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, also pineapple the Redux. 79 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: Sure for more on that. 80 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: But I suppose that brings us to our question. 81 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: I suppose it does. 82 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: The pina colata. 83 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: What is it? Oh? Well, the pina colata is a 84 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: type of cocktail that can be made in a number 85 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: of ways, but you're generally looking at a mix of 86 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: pineapple juice, rum, some kind of coconut element, and maybe 87 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: a tart element and or sweetener served over ice, often 88 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: blended ice, and they can be made more juicy or 89 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 2: more creamy, depending on the ingredients you use, but the 90 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 2: result is going to be like a sweet tart, bright, smooth, 91 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: cold drink that that feels like it was made for 92 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: sipping beachside, which it probably was. The vibe is like 93 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: indulgent and kind of retro. It's like a It's like 94 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: the beach without the sand. It's just this lovely, idealized 95 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: thing that you don't have to think too hard about. 96 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: It is lovely. It's just so refreshing good Chris, Apple, 97 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: pineapple and coconut are like two of my favorite fruits. 98 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what coconut. 99 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: Is Coconut episode forthcoming. I very nearly suggested it immediately 100 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: after suggesting this one, but we're gonna give it a 101 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: little bit of space. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, this is 102 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: why I've been putting it off all right. Anyway, Okay, 103 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: like I said, you can achieve this vibe in a 104 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: number of different ways. The classic is white rum, fresh 105 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and cream of coconut. And 106 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 2: let's talk about those ingredients for just a second before 107 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: we start on the riffs. Okay, So, like a good 108 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: white rum is gonna taste clean and maybe a little 109 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: burnt sugary, like like toffee almost or molasses, which makes 110 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: sense because it's made from molasses, maybe a little bit 111 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: spicy or floral. Fresh pineapple is bright and fruity and 112 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: floral and sweet. 113 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: Tart. 114 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: Lime, of course, is tart and citrusy or even kind 115 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: of piny sometimes, and cream of coconut is a specific 116 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: product that has not seen a coconut in like a 117 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: very long time. This is a specific manufactured product that 118 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: you are not opening a coconut in order to obtain. 119 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: It's made with a sweetened, thickened coconut milk that has 120 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: been canned as this sort of goo. And it's like 121 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: really easily mixable because it contains so much sugar and 122 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: other emulsifiers. It's like the nacho cheese of the coconut world. Okay, 123 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: the same way the processed cheese melt's real easy. Cream 124 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: of coconut blends real easy. So it lets you take 125 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: the flavors of an ingredient like coconut milk which does 126 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: not necessarily want to play nice with alcohol or acidic 127 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: elements like lime or pineapple juice, and easily add it 128 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: to a cocktail that contains those things. However, humans enjoy 129 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: a challenge, so sometimes pinuclatas are made with canned or 130 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: fresh coconut milk or other creamy elements like cream like 131 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: dairy cream or sweet and condensed milk, which is also 132 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: very blendable. But the name the name pina colada means 133 00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: pineapple strained like strained pineapple, so there are totally out there. 134 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: They do not use any cream or coconut, perhaps most 135 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: famously or commonly the Cuban version, which is pineapple juice, 136 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: lime juice, rum, and sugar syrup mixed and then usually 137 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: over cubed ice. On the flip side, though, and ironically, 138 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 2: I guess a kalata has colloquially come to mean any creamy, 139 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: fruity blended drink, so you might have a banana or 140 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: strawberry colada made with those fruits plus cream or coconut 141 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 2: aw yeah, and so cream aside. Aside, you can also 142 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 2: make the drink with different RUMs or other sugarcane liquors 143 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: like a rum, agricole or cashassa to bring in different flavors. 144 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: You can make it without rum at all. If you 145 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 2: don't want a drink today, you can use canned pineapple 146 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: juice or frozen pineapple chunks instead of a fresh pressed pineapple. 147 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: To taste, people add simple syrup to sweet. But there 148 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: are like all kinds of riffs coconut sorbet in there. 149 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: Maybe use a pineapple rum or pineapple liqueur. People put 150 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 2: champagne in it. 151 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: Right the store today, I could have all right, well, 152 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: there's still time for next time, for next time. 153 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

We're going to talk about 199 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: it a little bit. Yeah. 200 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 201 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: A couple places have non officially promoted their largest ever 202 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: pina coladas, both that I could find in twenty seventeen. 203 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 2: Like it was just a zeitgeist that is in the 204 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: zeitgeist that year, I guess. But uh, okay, So New 205 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 2: York City had one that was about one hundred and 206 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: forty gallons and London had one that was about five 207 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: hundred and ten leaders, which are like basically the same amount, 208 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: and both are based on the capacity of cement mixers, 209 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: which is what was being used to mix the cocktail. 210 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: I assume that there was some kind of specialty cement 211 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: mixer per curement involved. 212 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: I need a specialty submit mixer. Why pinia? All right, okay, 213 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: here you go. No further question should I just said so? Yeah? 214 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: Okay, And as of spring summer of twenty twenty two, 215 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: the Pina Colata was the ninth most popularly ordered cocktail 216 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: in the United States and the third most popular in 217 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: the UK. Right. In the States, the Pinia Colato was 218 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: the biggest gainer year over year, with an eighty seven 219 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: percent increase in orders, taking it to that ninth place 220 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: from seventeenth. 221 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: Wow, it's on a winning streak. It's on me, up and. 222 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: Up, absolutely apparently, right. 223 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but the history has been kind of a up 224 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: and down. 225 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And we are going to get into 226 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: that as soon as we get back from a quick break. 227 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: For a word from our sponsors. 228 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: They we're back, Thank you sponsored, Yes, thank you. 229 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: So if you've listened to any of our cocktail hours, 230 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: then you know without me having to tell you, but 231 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: I will. The history of the Pina Colada is hotly contested. 232 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. 233 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Many sources pointed out that probably people have been mixing 234 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: a drink similar to this since they figured out how 235 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: to distill rum and got their hands on pineapple again. 236 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: And I do agree like this just makes sense in 237 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: a lot of cases. Yeah, yeah, that a lot of 238 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: people were doing it. Some say the cocktail goes back 239 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: to the eighteen hundreds and a pirate who used the 240 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: drink to boost heraw, but most sources do yes, trace 241 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: its origins to Portori Go. 242 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: So let us talk about how all of these elements 243 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 2: got to there, all right, So conquistadors introduced sugar cane 244 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: to Puerto Rico during like the very first waves of 245 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: Spanish colonization in the early fifteen hundreds, possibly even like 246 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: the late fourteen hundreds. In fifteen twenty three, the first 247 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: cane processing plant was built sugar cane processing, and by 248 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: the end of the sixteen hundreds, sugar was one of 249 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 2: the colony's main economic products, and rum was possibly being 250 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: produced as well. Also, just want to put it in here, 251 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: a lot of enslavement and suffering was involved in all 252 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: of this, of both the native Chino people and of 253 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: Africans who were brought to the island. Pineapple is native 254 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: to the island, or at the very least it was 255 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: already being cultivated there pre colonization. Coconut trees, meanwhile, which 256 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: are native to the islands of Southeast Asia were being 257 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: planted there by the fifteen forties, probably from introduction by 258 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: Spanish or Portuguese traders. Again whole nother episode, I'm intimidated 259 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: by it, then skipping way ahead. Americans took control from 260 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: the Spanish in eighteen ninety eight, and in nineteen seventeen 261 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: Puerto Rico became a US territory and then later a 262 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: commonwealth after the World Wars. In the nineteen forties, airlines 263 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: American Airlines started providing service to the island, and gambling 264 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: was legalized, and at Hilton became the first big hotel 265 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: chain to open a resort on the island, the Caribe 266 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: I'm guessing Caribe Hilton Hotel. It was this like really 267 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: luxurious destination vacation with the benefit of being a US commonwealth, 268 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 2: you know, like you don't need a passport right and 269 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: all of this at the stage for like a lot 270 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: of mainland American tourism to the island during that post 271 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: war economic boom. Also, tiki bar culture was really booming 272 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: in the post war era, you can say my Thai 273 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: episode specifically for a lot on that and this business 274 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: group called the Puerto Rico Industrial Development company had started 275 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: heavily promoting the island's sugarcane and rum industry, including creating 276 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: a set of like rum production standards all right, and 277 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: the first industrial cream of coconut brand, Coco Lopez, developed 278 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: right around the same time thanks to a grant from 279 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: the government of Puerto Rico. A lot of this actually happened, 280 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: specifically in nineteen forty eight, big big year for the 281 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: Pinickalata or for the for the building blocks of the Pinakalata. 282 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: I should say, yes, okay, so we've got our building blocks, 283 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, all right, Well how did we get 284 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: this drink? Again? A lot of different stories, many specifically 285 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: credit it to San Juan and a bartender, Ramon Monchito 286 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: Marero Perez at the Carabe Hilton's Beach Comber Bar in 287 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four or nineteen fifty two. So story goes 288 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: he blended up rum, cream of coconut and pineapple juice 289 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: maybe amongst other things, and that people loved it. The 290 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: story goes that he personally served the drink for the 291 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: next thirty five years. And going back to what you said, Lauren, 292 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: it makes sense if people are like traveling here, vacationing 293 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: here at this hotel, in specific that it did kind 294 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: of get that vibe of this like relaxing, I'm on vacation. Yeah, yeah, drink. 295 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: Many sources claim that he spent three months perfecting the recipe, 296 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: and Joan Crawford once said of it that it was 297 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: quote better than slapping Betty Davis in the face. Well, 298 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: that's one way to describe. 299 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: It's for the most Joan Crawford quote I've ever heard 300 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 2: in my life. 301 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: You don't even have to know much about her to 302 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: really get a lot from that. Heck and the heck 303 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: all right, And a part of this whole thing was 304 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: that he allegedly made this drink with the newly available 305 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: Coco Lopez cream of Coconut, and that maybe a coconut 306 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: shortage was a factor and an impetus for this drink. 307 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: Sure. 308 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 3: Sure. 309 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: However, of course, he was not the only one that 310 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: claimed to have made the pinacolata the first pinic coolata. 311 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: A fellow who worked at the same establishment named Ricardo 312 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: Garcia sometimes gets credit too, and another guy named Ramon 313 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: portas Mingut claims he invented it in nineteen sixty three 314 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: at a restaurant in Old San Juan. The restaurant even 315 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: has a plaque up to commemorate it. 316 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 317 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bata China. I'm not sure how to say 318 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 2: that out loud, but yes, that is the name of 319 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 2: the restaurant. 320 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: Yes, it is. From what I understand, it's still there. 321 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: On top of all of this, there is a nineteen 322 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: twenty two recipe out of Cuba that was pretty close 323 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: to the pinic coolata, minus the coconut, and it was 324 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: shaken instead of blended. Many also like to point out 325 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: Cuba bassed Bacardi rum is typically used in Pina colatas, 326 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: though the company opened a distillery in Puerto Rico in 327 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty seven. But as you said, there's the kind 328 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: of Cuban pin colata. 329 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Cuban version now, yep, yeah. 330 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: Uh huh. One theory is that this cocktail was born 331 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: in part from a similar drink, yes, the Coca loco 332 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: that was served in these hollowed out coconut shells, and 333 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: then once pineapple juice got added in there pinicolata. There's 334 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: another theory that all of these are somewhat true, that 335 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: maybe especially the first two people I mentioned, maybe that 336 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: were working the same establishment. Maybe they ripped off each 337 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: other in their cocktails, added to them, refined to them. 338 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: Maybe it was an issue of when this drink officially 339 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: got the name, because it didn't start showing up in 340 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: cocktail books in this understanding of the pina colada that 341 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: were largely talking about until the nineteen sixties. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 342 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: I believe that that recipe. Though out of Cuba it 343 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: was called pina colada, it just didn't have the coconut. 344 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: The coconut right totally. 345 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy eight, the pinacolada was declared the official 346 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: drink of Puerto Rico and then Yes Escapes the pina 347 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: Colada song by Rupert Holmes came out in nineteen seventy nine, 348 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: but apparently he felt it detracted from his more serious work. 349 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: And I will tell you that song has been stuck 350 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: in my head since we have been doing this. 351 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: Yeah hard, same hard, same, So thanks Rupert Holmes, that. 352 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: Thanks Ruper Hopes. Also, it was one of those songs 353 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: where I just would like hummet and then when I 354 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: listened to the lyrics, I was like, wait, they're both 355 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 1: cheating on each other. It works out well in the end, 356 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: but they're both you know, that's what it's about. It's 357 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: about no escapes. 358 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: Anyway. 359 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to the lyrics of that song, 360 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: either give it a listen or don't. I don't know. 361 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: We can't tell you what to do. We can't, we can't. 362 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: And then we come to the nineteen eighties. Yes, the 363 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: Dark Ages of cocktails. We've talked about it so many times, 364 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: and yet they were a time of super sweet and 365 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: artificially flavored piniccolatas, and they sort of became a symbol 366 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: of that. A lot of articles I read said people 367 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: started to associate specifically the pinacolata with this type of drink. 368 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: And as I said at the time, when I was 369 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: drinking it at gold Rush and getting these sugar headaches, 370 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 1: it was like a Shirley Temple level for me as 371 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: a kid that I just thought it was a very 372 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: sweet rush of sugar. 373 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just iconically right, you know, like you you 374 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: see fancy grown ups doing a cocktail thing, and you're like, well, 375 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: I can also do a cocktail thing and get a 376 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 2: really good sugar rush at the same time. 377 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: Here we go. Yeah, I still have some of those cups. 378 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: I still have one of the little coconut things too, 379 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: And yeah, this drink also got wrapped up in the 380 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: tiki movement as something quote exotic, as you were mentioning, Lauren. 381 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: In two thousand and four, Puerto Rico's governor at the 382 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: time signed a proclamation naming the Pina Colada the official 383 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: creation of the Caribe Hilton for the fiftieth anniversary. It's 384 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: a whole thing. 385 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: And then yeah, as I was saying the number section like, 386 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: perhaps like in twenty twenty two, perhaps in response to 387 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: that being the first summer that bars were really reopening 388 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: since the start of the pandemic, all of these bright 389 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: rum based photogenic cocktails like the Mohido and the Pina 390 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 2: Colada surged in orders in at least a few places 391 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: around the world, including the US and the UK.
