Ana on 2025-12-20 (5 stars): This is the real deal! Just like PR!
Jillien on 2025-11-14 (5 stars): Today, I tried this recipe, and it was absolutely amazing! It’s incredibly delicious. I usually taste-test to ensure there’s enough liquor, cinnamon, or vanilla, but this recipe is simply perfect! If anyone is hesitant about using this recipe, don’t be. It’s exactly what coquito should taste like.

Heather on 2022-12-23 (5 stars): Delicious recipe!
Since it’s just my husband and I drinking it (plus a small rum free serving for our toddler), we probably won’t finish it all. I’m thinking the leftovers would make an amazing ice cream flavor… do you know if that would work out in our ice cream maker?
