Coquito

Recipe #273286 | 25 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 24 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: NcMysteryShopper

I would rather drink Coquitos instead of eggnog during the holidays. I did not see my favorite version posted so I am sharing it with my Beverage Forum buddies for the holidays. Time to make does not include chill time so plan accordingly. Happy Holidays!
