The holidays are upon us. To help spread the holiday cheer and bring the magic of the season to small, at-home or virtual celebrations across the country, BACARDÍ has once again released its popular ready-to-serve Coquito. This time a familiar face – supermodel and actress Joan Smalls – is showcasing all the ways the popular drink is #AbuelaApproved.
As generations of abuelas know, no Caribbean holiday celebration is complete without a few bottles of coquito, and no coquito recipe is complete without rum– which is why BACARDÍ Coquito is the perfect complement to holiday entertaining. The perfect blend of tradition and convenience, this Caribbean-inspired alternative to eggnog follows the traditional Coquito recipe closely – one used by abuelas around the world.
Supermodel and actress Joan Smalls is spending the holidays in Puerto Rico with her family, including her mom – who is a soon-to-be abuelita, now that Joan’s sister is pregnant. This year, to spend less time grinding away in the kitchen and more time together, Joan and her mom decided to honor the decades-old tradition of savoring the classic holiday cocktail by turning to BACARDÍ’s ready-to-serve Coquito.
Over a poolside game of Connect Four, Joan and her mom discuss the beloved bevvie – from when Joan’s mom first learned to make it to how the BACARDÍ version is perfect for gifting or serving during holiday festivities.
BACARDÍ Coquito is available nationally via Drizly for an MSRP of $19.99.
BACARDÍ also has just debuted another festive way to enjoy Coquito, and ahead of National Coquito Day on Monday, December 21, the Caribbean’s go-to rum for Coquito-making is releasing a scented candle dedicated to flavors of the heritage-filled drink.
For the ultimate rum lover, cozy up by the fire this holiday season with the new limited-edition BACARDÍ Coquito candle. Inspired by the traditional Puerto Rican holiday drink, this custom blended soy wax candle burns clean and boasts notes of creamy vanilla, coconut, and rum. The candle is available for a retail price of $32.00, exclusively on the new BACARDÍ Merch Shop.
