History of the Coquito Latte
The coquito latte has a rich history that is rooted in the cultural traditions of Puerto Rico. It is a festive holiday drink that became popular in the United States during the 20th century. Its origin dates back to the Taíno Indians, Caribbean natives who prepared a beverage made from rum, coconut, and tropical juices. The concoction was then blended with spices and served in a coconut shell, known as "coquito." This indigenous cocktail was later adapted by the Spanish conquistadors who added egg yolks to the mixture to create an indulgent drink that spread throughout their empire.
In Puerto Rico, coquito also became a staple during Christmastime and was often exchanged as gifts among friends and family. In recent years, the coquito latte has gained attention because 787 Coffee started making and promoting the Coquito Latte as the staple latte, it started as a holiday drink and became permanent as customers continue asking for it.
