There is actually very little history or legend available as to the origins of the Puerto Rican version of Eggnog, Coquito (pronounced koh-KEE-toh). When in Puerto Rico over the holidays or New Year, visitors are almost guaranteed to find Coquito available at the dinner table. Bottles of homemade Coquito do not only make a festive drink at the dinner table, but when bottled with a little decoration, it makes a wonderful gift for the holidays. Coquito is the traditional Puerto Rican Christmas beverage that is similar to an eggnog with rum and flavored with coconut. Traditional coquito is actually nothing more than the Puerto Rican version of eggnog.
