Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 13.5 oz Coconut milk
- 15 oz Coconut cream
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz Evaporated milk
- 1 cup White rum
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 2 Cinnamon sticks (optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the white rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice to the blender. Blend again for another minute to combine the flavors.
Taste the mixture and adjust spices or rum to your liking. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum.
Transfer the blended Coquito mixture into a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, shake the jar well. Pour the Coquito into small glasses and garnish with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of shredded coconut, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy this tropical holiday treat!
