Don’t miss this easy coquito recipe: A rich, creamy coconut cocktail!
Guys, I have something special for you today. REALLY special. This drink is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever sipped, and I’m not even exaggerating. If you like coconut, you don’t want to pass this one up. A couple years ago, I started making this on Christmas Eve. I give the kids a mug sans rum before bed, and then The Pants and I drink the spiked version while wrapping gifts. I don’t even mind wrapping ridiculously shaped presents or assembling stubborn toys as long as I have a glass of coquito nearby.
Don’t wait until next Christmas to try this! It is perfect for any day of the year, but probably not every day of the year or else you’ll have to buy bigger pants. (That’s the only thing stopping me.)

I’m sorry I didn’t know how to help you when you first asked. I just went to check again, and it looks like you got it sorted out! Is everything going more smoothly now?
This cocktail sounds AMAZING!!! I’m not a big drinker, but when I do drink, I enjoy drinks like this one! :D
If I win, I would mostly likely spend the money on some fun baking dishes or cookware or tableware I have been eyeing. I don’t know where I would put them though…maybe some can go towards a good organizer than as well! ;)
Thank you, Monique! This cocktail is really a treat. I would love to buy lots more plates and props for my photos too, but I’m like you and don’t have space to put it all! Let me know if you come up with a good system for organizing them :)
I would love to use it on something really fun. Maybe towards a mini vacation to somewhere warm. It’s been so cold here lately with the polar vortex, it’s supposed to be -20 tomorrow and I don’t think that’s including the windshield. So a little fun in the sun, would be my choice. Thank you for the giveaway.
-20?! That is crazy!! Where do you live? I won’t even mention what the weather is like in San Francisco right now. Thank you so much for entering. Good luck, and I hope you get some fun in the sun one way or another!
In Indiana. Growing up we would have really cold winters or mild temps with a lot of snow….but it’s been pretty mild for the last 10 years or so, until this year. We’ve been hit with a mix of both this year. A lot of snow and subzero temperatures.
I would love to buy my son something for his birthday! I’m not working right now…so this would be awesome!!!! Good luck everyone!
Good luck, Dawn, both with the giveaway and with finding a job very soon if you are looking! Thanks so much for entering :)
I would buy clothes and cookbooks with my winnings
You sound like my kind of person ;) I would love to spend $600 on those things too!
