Though no Puerto Rican holiday gathering is complete without a few bottles of the sweet beverage, Miami has adopted coquito as its own, with makers adding flavors like guava, Nutella, and cinnamon to the mix. Others make vegan-friendly versions, while many keep it simple.
Bear in mind while ordering that many Miamians who make coquito are small independent businesses, which is to say: Plan in advance and order early.
