Coquito has made its mark far beyond the island, thriving in communities wherever Puerto Ricans reside.
While traditionally shared as a gift among family and friends, Puerto Ricans in Florida now have plenty of options to get their hands on this beloved holiday drink. That’s because local Boricuas around Florida are turning their cherished family recipes into small businesses, offering both classic coquito as well as inventive flavors through Instagram, online stores, and local markets.
Coquito Miami 305, Miami
Self-proclaimed as the “official” coquito of Miami, Coquito Miami 305, created by Jess Orta, adds a local twist to the traditional drink with flavors like guava pastry and café con leche, in addition to the classic coquito for $25. There are also vegan options for $35. Place your order online through their website or send a message to Coquito Miami 305 on Instagram.
