I’m on a mission to take over the internet with Coquito Recipes. So far, I’m doing a fantastic job of turning tons of regular-shmegular recipes into their best coquito versions, but I think I can do more. If you are a fan of the Puerto Rican cocktail, read on for my all-time favorite versions of…

Tropical Sangria: Boozy and Fruity
If you’re a big fan of boozy cocktails, this Tropical Sangria recipe is going to wow you. Equatorial fruits swim in a punch of complementary liqueurs and a dry white wine to create a libation with a punch. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before- I probably have because I’m really proud of it- but, among…
Ponche Frozen Custard (Mantecado de Ponche)
Ponche Frozen Custard takes a childhood drink, or curse in my opinion, and turns it into a dessert you’ll be happy to eat. Think of it as an edible malted shake, and you have a general idea of what this classic recipe is all about. You wouldn’t know it by looking at me today, but…
Whiskey BBQ Sauce with Uncle Nearest Whiskey
I have to be honest with you and admit that the only way you’ll see me drinking whiskey is in a sour. Most often, I’m eating my whiskeys and bourbons. I just can’t do brown liquors, y’all. Too many run-ins in my young adulthood put me off of them altogether. But this Uncle Nearest Whiskey BBQ Sauce…
Spicy Paloma (Grapefruit and Tequila Cocktail with Jalapeño Simple Syrup)
This Spicy Paloma Cocktail warms you from the inside out. Thanks to a generous kick in the face from a brown sugar jalapeño simple syrup, you won’t know if it’s the tequila blanco heating you up or capsaicin. No matter what, this cocktail is going to be your default drink all summer long. This post…
Mangonadas (Spiced, Frozen Mango Margaritas)
If this post is incoherent, it’s because I had to test too many of these Mangonadas Margaritas. You deserve only the best from me, you know. These spiced, frozen mango margaritas are my favorite drink to order whenever we go to a Mexican restaurant. You know why? Because the restaurants around here did all us…
Passion Fruit Mojito Cocktails with Fresh Passion Fruit
Passion Fruit Mojito Cocktails are the best way to quench thirst during the warm Spring and Summer months. Made with triple the amount of passion fruit, they’ll become your new favorite cocktail. This post and recipe are intended for use by those who are of legal drinking age. If you’re not 21 and over (in…
Classic Passion Fruit Daiquiri (Shaken)
This shaken cocktail is made with passion fruit juice, white rum, citrus juice, and your preferred triple sec. My daiquiris are more flavorful and exciting than the regular-shmegular drink. Passion Fruit, to me, is a fruit that transcends seasons and cultures. What’s great about this cocktail is that it serves incredibly well during the Spring and Summer…
Bananas Foster Cheesecake in Oatmeal Cookie Crust
This Bananas Foster Cheesecake with its Oatmeal Cookie Crust is a “what’s up!” to NOLA. A banana cheesecake batter in a buttery oatmeal crust gets the Big Easy treatment after baking. A dark rum, brown sugar caramel covers the cake before a whipped cream garnish seals the deal. I’m pretty sure the National Cheesecake Awards…
Classic Hot Toddy with Whiskey
A friend of mine DM’d me on Instagram and asked me if I had a good recipe for a Classic Hot Toddy. I didn’t have one on the blog- yet- but figured I should. Of course, every recipe has to be tested and re-tested to ensure maximum satisfaction, so I had to do some research before…
