Howdy folks, the holidays are coming up so I figured I would share a traditional recipe that my family always made for Christmas
Coquito at it's simplest is essentially an eggnog, but subbing the eggs and bourbon with coconut and rum
Coquito ingredients
- 1 can of cream of coconut (15oz)(make sure it's cream of coconut, the same stuff that goes into a Piña Colada)
- 1 can of coconut milk (14 oz)
- 1 can of evaporated milk (12 oz)
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 cup of dark rum (I like Kraken black label, but you can leave it out or adjust it if you want, it's still real good)
- big pinch of cinnamon
- smaller pinch of nutmeg
Just put everything into a blender and blend until smooth.
And as a bonus, I finagled together a vegan version that's just as good (if not better since it's way more coconutty)
Vegan Coquito
- 1 can of cream of coconut (15 oz)
- 2 cans of coconut milk (14 oz)
- 1 can of condensed coconut milk (Take a can of coconut milk, put it in a saucepan, bring to boil, add 1/4 cup of the sweetener of your choice and reduce the heat. Simmer until reduced by half)
- 1 cup of dark rum (optional)
- 1/2 cup of coconut chunks (optional, but it helps make it thicker)
- big pinch of cinnamon
- smaller pinch of nutmeg
Put in blender and blend until smooth
Hope you all like it, it's real good.
(Also, picture I stole off of Google because at current, I don't have any Coquito on hand)
This is also very true!
Just make sure you use something that's freezer safe and leave room in the bottle for the expansion of the ice
It can be real messy cleaning it up if you don't

When my aunt used to make huge batches, that's exactly how she doled it out to everyone
