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…

Coquito: Puerto Rican Coconut and Rum Cocktail
Before we go any further with this Coquito post, I want to remind you that I’m a married woman. I’m won’t tolerate any disrespect to the Soldier. So, that means no marriage proposals, no sending flowers (especially orchids or lilies), and no diamond rings in size seven. I won’t stand for it. Pontificate on how much of…
Sesame Seed Milk (Horchata de Ajonjolí)
You’ve heard of the oat milk craze, I’m sure, but Sesame Seed Milk (Horchata de Ajonjolí) needs to be on your list of recipes to make. Pronounced or-CHA-tah day oh-hone-ho-LEE, this plant milk is nutty, creamy, and simple to make. Since this milk is basically a pantry recipe, you never need to worry about not having…
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…
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…

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…
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…
Spiced Apple Cider in the Slow Cooker
This Slow Cooker Spiced Apple Cider is an easy recipe for adults and kids to assemble and enjoy. It’s a simple recipe that elevates straight apple juice or cider to epic flavor proportions. I’m winding down my “cold weather” recipes here. Not that I won’t post more, mind you, I’m just trying to taper them…
