Virgin Coquito. If you want to make a batch of virgin coquitos for the kids, just leave out the rum. The drink will be just good and even creamier without the addition of the alcohol. Or, whip up a batch of grinch punch for the kids to enjoy while the adults sip on their coquitos.
Coquito translates to "little coconut" in English.
So, basically, it's a drink with a lil' bit of coconut and a whole lotta rum, LOL!!!

As the host, I feel it's my merrymaking duty to introduce people to it. Coquito is a traditional punch from Puerto Rico. It's often called "Puerto Rican eggnog" due to its very similar flavor profile and occasional use of eggs in some variations. Enjoy A Cup Of The Classic Puerto Rican Coquito This Christmas!

I remember the first time I tried coquito, there was no rum in it, but the flavors captivated every single taste bud within my mouth. I always stood away from it, I knew it was the drink only adults drank every single Christmas. Mix all ingredients in the blender. Pour into a serving carafe and refrigerate well (overnight is best). Serve in small glassware, top with froth, and a dash of cloves and cinnamon stick for fragrance.
