    It’s a festive and insanely easy-to-make recipe that’s sure to please a crowd. 

    I’ve included a large batch recipe below for holiday parties and get-togethers.

    Use your favorite vodka – Smirnoff, Absolut, or in this case, I’m using Blue Roost Vodka since it was on sale at BevMo. 

    Not into vodka? Try rum, gin, or white tequila. Any of those liquors are great substitutes. 

    Don’t confuse this with Coquito. Coquito is a dairy-based drink. Whereas, this drink has no dairy in it, making it an idea cocktail for parties and large crowds.
