History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Puerto Rico📅 20th century🥥 PR

Coquito, 'little coconut', is Puerto Rico's answer to eggnog and the official drink of its long Christmas season, which runs from Thanksgiving to the Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián in January.

Families make it in big batches, bottle it and give it as gifts, and everyone swears their grandmother's recipe is the best.

⭐ Why It's Famous

Sweet, creamy and spiced with cinnamon, it's Christmas in a glass for every Puerto Rican.

💡 Fun Fact

Coquito festivals and contests are held every holiday season in Puerto Rico and in Puerto Rican communities in New York.
