Try this festive, egg-free Coquito twist for a delicious Puerto Rican coconut rum cocktail at your next holiday gathering.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup coconut-flavored rum (such as Bacardi®)
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 1 scoop vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Instructions:
  • In a blender, combine cream of coconut, condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut rum, water, ice cream, and vanilla extract. Blend for about 3 minutes until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Transfer the coconut mixture into two 20-ounce glass bottles or jars. Place 1 cinnamon stick and 1 clove in each container, shake vigorously, and refrigerate the coquito for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Before pouring the coquito into shot glasses or small cups, remember to give the container a good shake. Finish off by elegantly sprinkling some cinnamon or nutmeg on top just before serving.
