From one Puerto Rican lady, I strongly disagree. This is definitely Puerto Rican Eggnog, even though we don't add eggs. Please continue to call it Puerto Rican for sure, since this is a recipe from the Puerto Rican culture. I don't want what happens with lots of other recipes, where other cultures try to claim it. Just like Piña Colada is a Puerto Rican recipe, so is Coquito. Other Hispanic cultures are making it Coquito now, because we Puerto Ricans share, but make no mistake, its definitely Puerto Rican!! Wepa!!!
