Coquito

If you have ever celebrated Christmas in the tropics, you would know that the heat never dies down in December. Therefore, drinking warm beverages aren't a great solution to the harsh weather. However, here's a cocktail straight out of Puerto Rico, the Coquito, a tropical equivalent to the popular eggnog. Instead of using eggs, this creamy delight harnesses the flavours of the coconut paired with top quality white rum.

Best made in a large batch, the Coquito is a one blender and easy to make drink. Perfect for entertaining a group of guests next tropical Christmas. Since the recipe doesn't contain any egg, it can be kept in the fridge for over a month. In case you'd want to have a batch all for yourself!
