Every year we have holiday traditions we share with our children. If you have followed this blog for awhile, you know we love to share some of our favorite holiday recipes on Facebook and Instagram, so we decided to finally publish the recipes here.

Some of these traditional recipes are from my husband’s family, and others are from mine. One of my favorite memories from childhood was having a Christmas party at my grandparents’ house. We would go caroling, smash a piñata, and enjoy Puerto Rican food and drink, including coquito, a Puerto Rican eggnog.

Use this easy coquito recipe to make this delicious treat for your family this holiday season. The coquito ingredients are easy to find at your local store, and the recipe is delicious.

Coquito: Puerto Rican Egg Nog

Coquito is a traditional Puerto Rican drink enjoyed throughout the holiday season. Similar to eggnog, there are several variations, but I prefer the kind without eggs. As a child we had a non-alcoholic version, but as an adult it tastes pretty good with white or dark rum.
