Coquito (pronounced coh-kee-toe) is a traditional Puerto Rican holiday drink that is smooth, thick, and creamy. It’s sweet and has a pronounced coconut flavor.
Combine all of the ingredients in the blender and pulse for few seconds until completely comes together and smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a glass jar with a lid, bottle, or a pitcher. It will need to have a lid to keep air-tight and also to be able to shake it up before serving.
Refrigerate for up to 4 hours, until completely chilled throughout.
Shake it up before servings.
Pour into glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, or even sweetened coconut flakes.
Storing:
Keep it in a glass jar or a bottle with a lid in the refrigerator. Properly refrigerated, it should keep for up to 5 days.
Want it virgin?
If you want to make a batch for kids or make it non-alcoholic for yourself, not to worry. Simply skip the rum and add either skim milk or coconut milk instead.
