Sip on coquito, the creamy Puerto Rican rum cocktail, and bring the flavors of Old San Juan into your home this holiday season. Often compared to eggnog, coquito is rich, velvety and warmly spiced—an ideal festive drink for gatherings, virtual toasts and cozy nights by the fire.
Each year, San Juan’s Caribe Hilton, known as the birthplace of the piña colada, shares seasonal snacks and coquito while presenting traditional parranda performances for guests. This holiday season the hotel extended that tradition beyond its lobby with playful coquito-grams: do-it-yourself kits that let recipients recreate the classic Puerto Rican cocktail at home.

In collaboration with Coquito NYC, the Caribe Hilton developed festive coquito-grams that friends and family can send across the country. These kits are designed for convenience and flavor: they include measured mixes, spices and garnishes so recipients can mix up authentic coquito quickly and consistently, whether they’re celebrating together in person or toasting over a video call.
The D.I.Y. coquito kits arrive with everything required to prepare the cocktail except for rum and eggs, allowing recipients to choose their preferred spirit and freshness level. Kits are packaged for gifting and shipping, making them a convenient seasonal present for anyone who enjoys Caribbean-inspired holiday drinks.
Coquito NYC also offers ready-made piña colada–flavored coquito for customers in New York who prefer a pre-mixed option. Those ready-to-drink bottles pair the tropical brightness of pineapple and coconut with the creamy traditional texture of coquito, delivering a festive flavor that evokes beaches and holiday cheer.
