"I am from Puerto Rico and this is a Puerto Rican recipe even if the ingredients have changed because of name brands. The real problem here is calling it Coquito when it has eggs. There are 2 different Christmas Drinks for Puerto Ricans that have almost the same ingredients with some variations depending on your taste.

There is Coquito that is made WITHOUT eggs! And there is Ponche that is made WITH eggs! Ponche coming from the Spanish (as in originating from Spain, not Spanish as everyone calls Hispanic people or things related to our culture); which is a variation from the word Punch from British English because is where the Spaniards got it from.

So this is the recipe for Ponche not Coquito!
