A winter special cocktail for dessert lovers, the coquito gets a delicious twist with the use of Irish cream liqueur. Easily adaptable to make in a large batch or single servings, adding a pinch of cinnamon to finish the drink elevates its sweet notes without overwhelming its primary flavour notes.
