The Coquito Ho Ho, Kwanzaa Colada, and Mexican Hot Chocolate are classic cocktails sprinkled with festive touches.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Leyenda is a Brooklyn bar that shines a light on Latin-American spirits. For the holidays, it transforms into one of the best Christmas pop-up bars in Brooklyn, dubbed Sleyenda. Staying true to its roots, the bar’s holiday menu adds twists to popular Latin-American drinks.

The Coquito Ho Ho, Kwanzaa Colada, and Mexican Hot Chocolate are classic cocktails sprinkled with festive touches. And for all my fellow Netflix lovers, Sleyenda is partly owned by Julie Reiner, who was recently a judge on the show Drink Masters.
