"When the piña colada was born in 1954, its inventor, Ramon 'Monchito' Marrero, a bartender at the Caribe Hilton, used a bottle of Don Q rum as its spirit base."
"Gran Reserva 7 can bring your piña colada a richness that's hard to beat, thanks to it having been aged for seven years in an oak barrel."
"It's bold, with hints of tobacco and dried fruit, reviewed Gaspar. Once these flavors blend into your drink, they work alongside the classic fruity notes."
The quality of rum significantly impacts the flavor of a piña colada. Don Q rum, used by the drink's inventor, is a classic choice. For a richer taste, Gran Reserva 7 is recommended due to its aging process, which adds bold flavors. This rum enhances the fruity notes of the drink, creating an exceptional colada experience. To prepare, blend the rum with pineapple juice, coconut cream, and fresh pineapple chunks for the best results.
