The Colada family of cocktails consist of white rum, pineapple juice and coconut cream. The most famous member of the family is the Pina Colada, possibly one of the most popular type of cocktails in the world. Its name comes from the Spanish term for 'strained pineapple, and was created in Puerto Rico, either in 1954 by Ramon Marrero Perez of the Caribe Hilton, or in 1963 by Don Ramon Portas Mingot of La Barrachina Restaurant Bar.
Other Colada versions may include spirits such as Amaretto, Kahlua or sloe gin in addition to the basic Pina Colada recipe, and may also contain fruit purée.
