- 1 13.5-ounce can Coconut milk
- 1 15-ounce can Cream of coconut
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup White rum (optional)

Instructions
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, and cream of coconut. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Add ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend again to distribute the spices evenly.
If using white rum, pour it into the blender and blend for another 30 seconds to incorporate.
Taste the mixture and adjust spices or sweetness if needed. Blend for a few seconds after any adjustments.
Pour the mixture into a glass pitcher or airtight bottles. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the Coquito a good stir or shake as it may settle slightly in the fridge.
Serve cold in small glasses. Garnish with a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for decoration.
