Coquito is the equivalent of a Puerto Rican egg nog, except, it’s infinitely better. If you’ve ever had it, you understand. If you haven’t – you’ve been missing out on life! This traditional holiday cocktail can be consumed cold, with or without ice. So get the dominoes out and get the platanos into the hot oil, because it’s time to celebrate!

DIRECTIONS
