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)
