You know it is Christmas in Puerto Rico when you visit someone’s house and they offer you a glass of Coquito; the official drink of Christmas here in Puerto Rico 🙂
Everyone in Puerto Rico knows someone who has their own recipe for Coquito and we have a couple that you can try; so check out these Coquito Recipes and enjoy.
To mark the significance of Coquito in Puerto Rico, the Serrallés Distillery produces of Don Q Rum have announced that December 21 will be known as National Coquito Day.
“With the continuous growth of the Puerto Rican Diaspora, and the increasing presence of Puerto Ricans in the global music, arts and sports landscape, consumers want to learn more about our customs and traditions, including our gastronomy and rums,” said Roberto Serrallés, sixth generation rum maker and VP of Business Development. “Don Q is Puerto Rico’s preferred rum, and National Coquito Day allows us to highlight the spirit of our joyful celebrations and our culture, share Coquito recipes, and amplify the awareness of this holiday cocktail throughout the world.”
To mark this new national holiday, Don Q is announcing a Coquito contest, running from November 15th through December 9th. The best coquito recipe submission will win a trip for two to Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian in Puerto Rico in 2019. The winner will be announced on National Coquito Day, December 21st, 2018.
