The proper way to order  piña colada’s with a rum topper to make a “Kraken Kolada”. #royalcaribbean
Piña Colada’s on Royal Caribbean Cruises I am very sad when I see people with plain piña colada’s on the ship and I feel like I need to tell them that for the same money, they could’ve gotten a rum topper — specifically a Kraken topper to create the perfect drink we call the “KRAKEN KOLADA”! How do you like your piña colada’s? #RoyalCaribbean #pinacolada #kraken #cruising #themoreyouknow Gemini provided some fun facts about both! Enjoy! 🍍Piña Colada Fun Facts 🏝️ Born in Puerto Rico: The piña colada was officially invented in 1954 at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan by bartender Ramón "Monchito" Marrero, who spent three months trying to capture the flavors of the island. 🇵🇷 National Drink: Puerto Rico declared the piña colada its official national beverage in 1978. 🥥 The Original Was Alcohol-Free: Monchito Marrero's original recipe was actually served without alcohol as a refreshing welcome drink for hotel guests; the rum addition came a bit later once bartenders realized how well it paired. 🦑 Kraken Rum Fun Facts 🌊 Named After the Beast: The brand is named after the legendary mythical sea beast of Scandinavian folklore—a giant, octopus-like monster said to drag ships down into the deep ocean. 🍾 The Bottle Design: The distinctive bottle shape is a replica of a Victorian-style rum bottle, complete with two small loop handles (called "ears") historically designed for easy gripping and hanging aboard ship. 🏴☠️ A Secret Blend: Kraken is an imported Caribbean rum (specifically sourced from Trinidad and Tobago) that gets its rich, dark color and signature flavor from being blended with a proprietary mix of 11 secret spices, including cinnamon, ginger, and clove.
