The Miami Vice actually predates the 80’s, but it sure did become popular then. This frozen cocktail is essentially a Piña Colada on top of a frozen Strawberry Daiquiri. It look very similar to the Beach Towel and Lava Flow.

The Daiquiri is thought to have been invented an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox in Daiquiri, Cuba in 1898. At some point around the 80’s, the Frozen Daiquiri became the more common version of the drink that barely resembles the original. They can normally be found at many events being served in long, funky glasses. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.

The Margaritas origin is unclear. One theory is that it was invented by a man from Dallas, Texas who was visiting Acapulco, Mexico in 1948. Another theory is that the drink is a simple twist on the Tequila Daisy. The Margarita can be served shaken or blended and flavored by adding fruit. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.

Piña Coladas are arguable the most iconic tropical drink in part because of the song “Escape (the Piña Colada Song)” by Rupert Holmes. It is thought to have been invented in the 1950’s by Ramon Marrero Perez in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The original recipe is a shaken drink instead of the blended drink that we all know and love today. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
