Black Friday is a day for the intrepid shopper to hunt for deals, but for the Boozy Traveler it marks the start of a different hunt, the hunt for Christmas cocktails. To this end, we humbly submit the Coquito. Having tried this traditional holiday libation from Puerto Rico, we were instantly hooked. Coconut and rum pull us to the tropic while cinnamon anchors us to Christmas up north. It’s a wonderful replacement for eggnog and quite a bit tastier to boot.
The Bacardi effort while admirable needs a bit more cinnamon and something just to touch up the sweetness a bit. That being said, it’s an easy stand-in or perfect gift to bring along to that ugly sweater party should you find yourself in need of a gift.
Stay in good spirits!
