In celebration of National Piña Colada Day on July 10, Selena Rosa restaurant in New York City unveiled the largest Piña Colada ever made, it says. The restaurant, located at 1712 Second Ave. near 89th Street in Manhattan, created the record-setting drink using more than 150 bottles of rum and mixed the oversized libation with a cement mixer. Piña Coladas were then given to customers free of charge throughout the day. The cocktail was created in Puerto Rico and has been the Island’s National Drink since 1978. It became an internationally acclaimed cocktail when a bartender working at the Caribe Hilton Hotel’s Beachcomber Bar in San Juan started mixing it in 1963, the company says.
