The funny thing about recipes is that a lot of people are protective of their ‘secret’ recipes! This naturally makes it difficult in sharing them with others! So when you do come across a delicious recipe, you usually need to write it down and keep it in safe place!

Here’s a good Puerto Rican Coquito recipe that was once promoted by Nestlé®. Try it out and let us know what you think!
