'tis the season


Coquito is a favorite drink of the holiday season here. It is the Puerto Rican version of eggnog. Some recipes even use eggs. Ours doesn't have eggs but it's creamy and rich anyway. Most Puerto Rican versions use some kind of rum, from pitoro (local incredibly potent rum moonshine) to cheap rum to Don Q Cristal or better. We use a lesser-known licor from Spain called Cuenta y Tres. It's a little different flavor and like everything else we do at Ola Lola's, it gives our coquito our own special spin. Cheers!
