The couple behind the recipe:
Grandma Millie and Grandpa Thomas
Millie short for Milagros was a homemaker of 6 children. Thomas was a chef in a NYC hotel. Millie was born in Puerto Rico in the 1920s and moved to NYC in the 1940s where she met Thomas. They married shortly after and lived in the Bronx. In 1970 they moved to Staten Island, NY and purchased a home where they would raise their family.
I remember many Christmas’ celebrating with them and drinking Coquito. Yes even at a young age! It’s a delicious drink the whole family can enjoy! Of course if sharing with children it should only be a few sips 🤗
