Three cheers brought by Hilton properties in the Philippines as it pays tribute to the man behind the iconic tropical cocktail Piña Colada, popularized in Puerto Rico and created by illustrious barman Señor Ramón “Monchito” Marrero at the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico.
The celebration of Hilton’s 70th Anniversary of Piña Colada will be experienced at Hilton Hotels in the Philippines with exclusive offers and events throughout July. Piña Colada came into being in 1954 when “Monchito” concocted the drinks by combining pineapple and coconut at the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico, and that made the drink popular even on cruises, restobars and hotel bars around the world.
