Coquito
Coquito is similar to eggnog but without the egg, it’s a Puerto Rican holiday drink that tastes like coconut candy. Family recipes vary a bit but this one is pretty standard. If you want to serve it to kids, replace the rum with whole milk and add some non-alcoholic rum extract.
Ingredients:
- 1 can cream of coconut (15 ounce)
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounce)
- 1 can of coconut milk (13 ½ ounce)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounce)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 2 cups white rum
- Grated nutmeg for an optional garnish
Pour the cream of coconut, evaporated milk, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large saucepan. Heat on medium and stir until it well blended and starts to simmer. Remove from heat, and let it sit for 30 minutes. ![Coquito Coquito](https://robertiulo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/A-768x1024.jpg)
