Puerto Rican holiday festivities are well known around the world given its joyful spirit, tropical flavors, beautiful colors and unique traditions. In fact, they are notorious for being the longest holiday celebrations in the world. Among the most renowned of these traditions is the Holiday Coquito, the official cocktail for all seasonal festivities among families and friends. The Coquito (similar to eggnog in the U.S.) symbolizes a traditional bond that transcends generations and knows no geographical boundaries.
