Goya puts its own spin on coquito

Eggnog has some major competition out on shelves.

Goya is putting its own spin on the classic and authentic Puerto Rican beverage of coquito, with its own recipe.

"Goya brings families and friends of all cultures together through the products and recipes we create, and the preservation of our traditions. We want to introduce coquito as a new holiday tradition to those who are looking to give a Caribbean twist to their seasonal beverages and to celebrate with those who know and love our coquito recipe and products," Joe Perez, senior vice president of Goya Foods, said. 

Commonly served cold during Christmas, Goya’s coquito is a thick and creamy coconut beverage that mixes its own coconut milk with cream of coconut, cinnamon and rum.

In addition, consumers can find other such coquito-inspired recipes as coquito Cake, coquito Cream Pie and Iced coquito Cookies on the Goya website.
