Hello, Friends, Tyna here! Raise your hand if you’re excited for the holiday season — I know am! I’ve been humming holiday tunes and decking the halls to prep for the upcoming festivities. There’s something about this time of the year that gets my spirit riled up. Of course decorating, picking out a tree and the hope for snow are all apart of it but my favorite parts are our own family traditions so I thought I’d share one with you all! This one is a holiday drink recipe called Coquito that’s typically made during Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s not only a family recipe but is also part of my Puerto Rican heritage. Coquito, meaning “Little Coconut” in Spanish, was originally founded in Puerto Rico but can also be found all throughout the Caribbean.
