But this is EXACTLY the value of Jared's article.  His Slammed interview 
notwithstanding, Jared does a pretty masterful job of tying together the weird 
and serendipitous forces that brought about what we would recognize as a 
Classic Pina Colada.  More precisely, it was the advent of COCO LOPEZ 
concurrent to the marketing of the Waring Blender that were really the driving 
forces behind the Pina Colada.
The development of COCO LOPEZ, that's the lynch pin that unlocks the mystery 
of the Pina Colada for me.  While I don't doubt that coconut and pineapple 
have had a long history of being mixed in their various guises, commercial 
Cream of Coconut elevated their nascent and primordial affinity to a whole 
'nother place.

Get a copy of MIXOLOGIST and read the article.
