COQUITO



Coquito image

Coquito may translate to little coconut, but this boozy drink is big on coconut flavor. Traditionally served around Christmas, this holiday drink originated in Puerto Rico and is made with rum, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and spices. It's delicious served very cold, with a dusting of fresh nutmeg on top.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 15-ounce can cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk

1/2 cup white rum

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for serving
Cinnamon sticks, for serving

COQUITO (PUERTO RICAN COCONUT EGGNOG)



Coquito (Puerto Rican Coconut Eggnog) image

Coquito (pronounced "koh-kee-toh") is often called a "Puerto Rican eggnog" but, to be honest, I think it's much better than eggnog. If you like coconut and cold, frothy drinks spiked heavily with rum, you will like this. You will really, really like this. Some versions of coquito have raw eggs but I leave them out, which makes it better for gift giving and preparing in advance. My recipe is also strong. As in, you can feel it down to your knees after just a sip or two. I like it that way but feel free to cut down on the booze. This rich, sweet and totally decadent drink is meant to be sipped in small glasses. To make it last longer, serve it on the rocks -- the ice dilutes the drink a bit and makes it delightfully chilly.

Time 2h10m

Yield 16 to 20 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
One 14-ounce can coconut milk
One 15-ounce can sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez or Goya)
3 cups white rum (gold rum can be substituted; see Cook's Note for low- and no-alcohol versions)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
2 cinnamon sticks, plus 1 more stick per serving (or 1 more stick per each additional gift bottle)
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise (plus half a vanilla bean per each additional gift bottle), optional

Steps:

  • Combine the three milks with the cream of coconut in a large blender and blend until well combined. Add the rum, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon and blend together. (If your blender is small, do this in batches and pour into a large bowl as you go.)
  • Pour the coquito into bottles and drop 1 cinnamon stick and vanilla bean half into each. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.
  • Serve straight in small glasses or over ice in larger ones. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick. Leftovers will keep tightly sealed in the refrigerator for about 1 week (shake the bottle vigorously each time before serving; see Cook's Note).

Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (15-ounce) can cream of coconut (like Coco Lopez or Goya)
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (13.5-ounce) can of coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla, or 1 vanilla bean, split and seeded
2 whole cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 to 2 cups rum
Grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix in the rum: Remove the cinnamon sticks and the vanilla bean (if using) and pour the mixture into a punch bowl or pitcher. (Note: I rinse and dry the vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks, and save them future infusions such as rice pudding .) Add 1 cup of rum and taste; add more rum for a stronger punch. I usually stick to around 2 cups as I prefer it strong.
  • Chill: Chill this in the fridge for at least 2 hours or for up to 3 days.
  • Serve: Serve neat or over ice in small portions. Garnish with grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon as desired.

COQUITO (BORICUA STYLE)



Coquito (Boricua Style) image

This is the way Coquito has been made by my family in Puerto Rico for many years. Traditionally when guests arrive in a home during the holidays (which extend from the first of Dec. until the 15 Jan.), they are immediately offered this delightful, comfort beverage. It is prepared at least 12 hrs in advance, and chilled in the refrigerator, once it is ready to serve, it must be shaken vigorously. It is served in small (fancy, glass) cups or shot glasses, no more than 4 oz. at a time. Other typical holiday foods include, Arroz con Gandules (rice with pigeon peas), Pernil (roast pork), Pasteles (a dough made out of either green bananas, or cassaba, filled with delicious meat, and wrapped in banana leafs, basically a Puerto Rican tamale), Arroz con Dulce (a rice dessert), Tembleque (another sweet dessert)..... My wife buys inexpensive empty fancy bottles at a local bazzar, which she cleans thoroughly and then fills with Coquito, during the holidays she gives a bottle to our friends and relatives...Enjoy!, and remember not to drink and drive.
