Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 13.5 oz Coconut milk
- 15 oz Coconut cream
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz Evaporated milk
- 1.5 cups White rum
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 sticks Cinnamon sticks (for garnish)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, white rum, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well combined, about 1–2 minutes.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spices as desired. If you prefer a stronger rum flavor, you may add more rum to taste.
Pour the prepared Coquito into a large glass bottle or pitcher with a lid.
Refrigerate the Coquito for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and for the drink to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, shake the bottle or stir the Coquito well, as the ingredients may settle over time.
Serve chilled in small glasses and garnish with a cinnamon stick in each glass for a festive touch.
