Recipe: Coquito

So, more in the spirit of the holidays, here's a recipe for Coquito. Coquito is ridiculously sweet if you don't include the rum; the first time I tried it (without rum) I had to take incredibly tiny sips of it and couldn't drink more than half a glass, and I love sweet food.

This is a the personal recipe of a friend's mother; other people include different ingredients, like chocolate and cinnamon and stuff, but it's better to try it "plain" first.

Coquito

1 taza de ron blanco

  2. Yes, that is true coquito does not have eggs. The moment that you add eggs is not coquito it will be ponche de coco, which is Venezuelan. Merry Christmas.
