Make sure you whip up enough of this coconut-based drink to share it with friends and family. “In Puerto Rico we always make large batches to bottle up and give out,” says Yia Medina, a host on the Food Network Kitchen app. “It’s my favorite Christmas tradition.”

I like this recipe. It’s simple, egg-free and delicious! I add a little packaged coconut, but you will need to process it in the vita mix (longer if using a food processor or blender-it helps with the thickening process). The first time I made it, I used the 1-1/2 C of SPICED RUM and it was really strong, so you may wish to adjust this to your taste. It is important to let the mixture sit for at least 4 hours or longer. It gets better with time.
