National Pina Colada Day
Despite specializing in sustainable seafood, the seven Bluewater Grill restaurants in Southern California and Phoenix have expansive bars and weekday and even weekend happy hours featuring extensive cocktail and small-plate menus.
So it makes sense that the Bluewater family celebrates National Pina Colada Day on Sunday, July 10, with a special $5 price on the restaurants’ signature Bluewater Pina Colada, a tropically sweet blend of rum, coconut milk and pineapple juice shaken with ice. The regular price is $9 or higher, depending on the restaurant.
According to the Encyclopedia of American Food & Drink, the words “Pina Colada,” which translate to “strained pineapple,” first appeared in print in 1923. But legends have Puerto Rican pirate Roberto Cofresí serving a mixture of rum, pineapple and coconut to his ship’s crew to help boost morale as far back as the 1800s.
