Coquito = Puerto Rican eggnog
Coquito is a Christmas drink that originated in Pueto Rico and is similar to eggnog. Coquito means little coconut in Spanish and as you can see, this recipe is loaded with coconut flavor!
A friend of mine served this during the Holiday season several years ago and I fell in love… so much that I had to have her recipe.
Not only do I make this during the Holidays, I make it any time I have a taste for it.
Coquito recipe
- 1 1/2 cups rum
- 1 can cream of coconut
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 can coconut milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients together in a blender.
Serve over ice.
Refrigerate leftovers and drink within several days.
Tips:
Coquito is best served cold. Refrigerate before serving if time permit, otherwise serve over ice..
Top with grated nutmeg for an extra spicy treat. Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream for more creaminess.
