The coco chocolatero was a type of cup used to serve hot chocolate that developed between the 16th century and the 19th century in both the Viceroyalties of New Spain and the Viceroyalty of New Granada, which included modern-day countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The cup was made of a carved and polished coconut shell, hence its name.
