Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients except the rum (sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut milk, cream of coconut, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, coconut extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves) to a high speed blender and blend until smooth and combined, about 15 seconds.
  2. Add the rum and stir to combine. If you want the option for non-alcoholic coquito, skip adding the rum now and serve it on the side later for people to add if desired. 
  3. Transfer the coquito to an airtight pitcher or container and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Shake or stir well before serving. Garnish individual glasses with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. 

Notes

  • Serving Note: The coquito will develop a soft foam on top while it chills in the fridge. You can scoop it off and discard it, scoop it off and use it as a whipped cream substitute on the drinks, or stir it back into the liquid. Completely up to you! 
  • Storage: Store any leftover coquito in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
