Spiced Vanilla Coquito (Coconut Holiday Drink) image

A recent trip to Puerto Rico made me fall in love with this drink. Here is an eggless version that keeps longer in fridge. This is a nice change from Eggnogg. If you don't like Eggnogg. This is a great substitution. Make extra batches to bottle for gift giving.
