On the Jamaica theme, I can’t find the Jamaica flavour of Jarritos around here. Don’t know if it’s discontinued or not stocked. Was my fave.

MOM WHIG:

Coquito is a traditional Christmas drink that originated in Puerto Rico. The coconut-based alcoholic beverage is similar to eggnog, and is sometimes referred to as Puerto Rican Eggnog (though incorrectly, as coquito does not contain eggs). The mixed drink is made with Puerto Rican rum, coconut milk, cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon.
