Mission
Coquito Masters is a project of the International Coquito Tasting Federation whose mission is to promote coquito as a culinary delight! The contest started when a family friend and coquito supplier of the founder passed away and she found herself without a recipe or coquito! What is a girl to to do, but host a contest in her own living room with friends and family! What a blast. Now 10 years later there are members, community and institutional hosts for qualifiers, a Coquito Crawl and even a movie in the works. Known as the Coquito Contessa, Debbie Quiñones travels to promote coquito and coordinate contests with the goal to take coquito around the world.
Description
Coquito Masters is an annual contest that began in NYC where contestants from the tri state area compete to determine the Coquito Master of the year. This year we are expanding chapters to MA and CT.
Coquito for those who don't know is like Puerto Rican egg nog with sabor!!! RUM, coconut, condensed and evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon and a whole host of other ingredients that are guarded family secrets.
