Coquito Recipe – Holidays in Puerto Rico

In celebration of the holiday’s in Puerto Rico, We wanted to share a recipe of an old, but widely popular traditional holiday drink!

Puerto Rico – Holiday Coquito Recipe:

• 1 quart store-bought eggnog
• 1 cans of coconut cream (Coco Lopez)
• 1 can condensed milk
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 1 can of coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons vanilla
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• cinnamon sticks (one for each bottle)
• 1/2 cup of DonQ white rum
• 1/2 cup DonQ Coconut Rum
• 1/4 cup Bacardi 151 proof rum (For the Kick)
• 1/2 coconut grated or 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes and coconut shaving for garnish

Makes about 8-10 bottles, depending on size. Mix well all  ingredients, bottle and store in refrigerator.  Serve it with a  cinnamon stick and a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top.

Please note that as you are making this you will be tasting and adjusting  for your own taste…be careful not to sip too much.  Once I ended up on  the couch snoring quite happily.
