Coquitos


Coquitos is a christmas tradition in cuba and puerto rico much like eggnog here in the usa and elsewhere. It is like a sweet wine. It is served on the night of noche buena (good night) before eating lechon asado (roast pig), arroz congri(white rice and black beans - made together), yuca con mojo (yucca or cassava with garlic sauce), maduros fritos(fried ripe plantains) - leave it to the cubans to serve three carbohydrates at one meal! Anyway, along with the meal they serve ensalada mixta (mixed green salad with tomatoes & radishes) and for dessert bunuelos(fried dough pieces with syrupy syrup) and then they all go to la misa del gallo(mass of the rooster - midnight mass). Found on dollarman.com. That is the recipe.
