Recipe: Appetizing Coquito

Coquito. Very yummy creamy tropical coconut eggnog made with spices and white rum. It is always requested at my holiday gatherings. (And sometimes gets selfishly hidden in the fridge by the hostess.) Serve in glass cups and sprinkle with more cinnamon if desired. Coquito is a thick and creamy coconut drink that mixes silky GOYA® Coconut Milk with sweet GOYA® Cream of Coconut, cinnamon and rum.

My friend gave me the recipe and she makes it only at christmas, she fills wine bottles with it and then makes them look pretty and gives them as gifts. This fabulous Coquito recipe is actually a family recipe from my friend Christina. Her father, who passed away a few years ago now, was an amazing cook and had so many secret family recipes. I begged her and she so sweetly agreed to share the recipe with all of you! Coquito is a traditional coconut punch served at Christmas and New Year's celebrations in Puerto Rico.
