Description

Coquito is a traditional Puerto Rican holiday drink that's creamy, rich, and sweet. It's made with coconut milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and rum. Some recipes call for egg yolks or cinnamon, but this recipe keeps it simple and classic. It's perfect for parties or cozy nights in, and it's easy to make in large batches.

15 minutes

Cook Time

0 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 can of coconut milk (14 oz)
  • 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 can of evaporated milk (12 oz)
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp of ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup of white rum
  • Coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Bowl and whisk (optional)
  • Glass bottles or jars for storing

Method

  1. Pour all three cans of milk into a blender.
  2. Add in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  3. Blend the mixture until it's smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour in the rum and blend again until it's fully incorporated.
  5. Taste the coquito and adjust the sweetness or alcohol level as needed.
  6. Transfer the coquito to glass bottles or jars.

Notes

Coquito can be served in shot glasses or cups, and it's best enjoyed cold. It's important to chill the coquito for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and for the drink to thicken. If you don't have a blender, you can use a bowl and whisk to mix the ingredients together until they're well combined.

Recipe Tips

  • If you want to make a non-alcoholic version of coquito, simply omit the rum and add in more milk or coconut milk instead.
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the coquito by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk.
  • If you prefer a stronger rum flavor, you can add in more rum to taste.
  • You can make the coquito ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
  • If you're serving the coquito at a party, you can set up a DIY coquito bar with different types of rum and garnishes like cinnamon sticks, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings.

Enjoy this delicious and festive holiday drink with friends and family!
