    Coquito always ROCKS. Totally kicks eggnog's butt. Nothing compares to coquito. I just have to clarify and add to what PPs have stated: Coquito requires CREAM of coconut, NOT coconut milk. Coconut milk makes coquito taste so lame in comparison. Trust me, cream of coconut is the way to go for a real kick.

    I love this recipe, even thou I make my own stile of coquito. I have read here so many coments about it is "ponche" o "coquito" I have been in a family of cookers and both way it is Coquito all depends what part of Puerto Rico you coming from.It is like "caldero" and "olla" some peolpe call it diferent depends where they come from. What you have to see and be happy for it is that many people like it not only Puertorricans.
