Coquito is an eggnog-like Puerto Rican beverage generally served during the Navidades (Christmas). It is a delicious drink with all the flavors of the tropics. My abuela’s version uses maraschino cherries which gives the liquid a beautiful light pink color. It will surely put you in the Christmas spirit!
tasty roast pork, Puerto Rican style, Marine overnight. This is every Puerto Rican party dish. If there is no pernil in the party there is no party, especially the hard skin!! That is to die for. When I was a little girl and woke up to the smell of the pernil, I knew something special was happening that day.
You haven’t lived until you try all of these!
Here's a list of Latin-inspired drinks for the holidays that are perfect for your next party.

I had the traditional mofongo - with crispy pork. This was my first time eating mofongo, or plantains in any way, shape or form whatsoever, so I was really excited. The mofongo itself was delicious, I really liked it. The pork, on the other hand, was rather disappointing. It was more hard and tough, rather than crispy, and the skin was rubbery. For me, I can take fish/chicken skin as long as it is crispy. Soggy or chewy though, and it's no go. Next time I go, I will have the pernil mofongo, which is roast pork. My friend ordered that and it was tender and delicious. My friend, who is Dominican herself, said that it was "just like home".
