Coquito is an alcoholic drink that is very similar to eggnog. It is made from different ingredients such as evaporated milk, condensed milk, rum, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla, eggs and coconut cream, but ingredients can be varied according to taste. The vanilla and evaporated milk is often used to make the drink sweeter and the rum can be replaced with Cognac.

This is an easy version of Coquito. It’s the way I make it and everyone loves it. 1 can of Cream of coconut 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk 1 egg yolk 1 tsp of vanilla 1/2 shot of cinnamon water 1-2 cups of Rum… depending on how strong you want it. (to measure the amount of rum I just use an empty can of cream of coconut and fill it to the rim) Start by boiling 1 cup of water with the 5-6 cinnamon sticks for 5-10 minutes and let cool. While that’s boiling go ahead and start mixing the coquito in the blender. Start by adding 1 can of cream of coconut, 1/2 can of condensed milk, 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp of vanilla, when the cinnamon water has cooled down add 1/2 shot of the cinnamon water, fill 1 empty can of the cream of coconut with white rum and pour it in the blender. Mix well for about 5-10 minutes, taste it and if it’s good, leave as is, if not then add more rum…. Let chill for a few hours or a day. serve cold!! Happy Holidays 😉
