If you have ever celebrated Christmas in the tropics, you would know that the heat never dies down in December. Therefore, drinking warm beverages aren't a great solution to the harsh weather. However, here's a cocktail straight out of Puerto Rico, the Coquito, a tropical equivalent to the popular eggnog. Instead of using eggs, this creamy delight harnesses the flavours of the coconut paired with top quality white rum.
Best made in a large batch, the Coquito is a one blender and easy to make drink. Perfect for entertaining a group of guests next tropical Christmas. Since the recipe doesn't contain any egg, it can be kept in the fridge for over a month. In case you'd want to have a batch all for yourself!
Coquito
350ml White Rum
450ml Coconut Cream
350ml Evaporated Milk
400ml Condensed Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg Powder
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and mix at high speed. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Shake well before serving. Serve straight or over ice. Keep Coquito in a sealed bottle in the fridge.
