Ingredients
- 1 .5-ounce can coconut milk
- 1 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ to 1 cup cream of coconut
- 1½ cups rum
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- In the container of a blender, combine all of the ingredients except for the cinnamon sticks. (add less or more of the cream of coconut depending on your sweetness and coconut-flavor preference.) Blend on low speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Transfer to a pitcher or jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. For the best flavor, let the coquito chill for at least 4 hours or up to 4 days. Shake before serving.
- Serve chilled and garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick.

Notes
- Vanilla extract enhances the other flavors of the coquito. Use real vanilla extract instead of artificial, if possible.
- The longer the drink gets to chill, the more the flavors blend together and taste better.
- Coquito makes for great gifts. Simply transfer the drink to a mason jar, tie a ribbon around it, and gift it to your friends and family.
- If the coconut fat solidifies after being chilled, just allow the drink to sit on the counter for a couple of minutes before shaking it to combine.
- If you want to add additional warming spices to your drink, ginger, cloves, and star anise are great options.
