Ingredients
- 2 cans 7.4 ounces each sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 1 can 13.6 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 can 15 ounces cream of coconut
- 1 can 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ½ teaspoon coconut extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves ground
- 1½ cups white rum or to taste - such as Bacardi Superior or Don Q Cristal
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
