Easy Coquito
Report
Puerto Rican Coquito is the perfect holiday drink, as there are no strict rules about what can and cannot be added, which makes it much more interesting and versatile. It is prepared based on coconut cream, coconut milk, condensed milk, and rum, but if you prefer, you can add another liquor or make it without alcohol. Coquito, much like Eggnog, is traditionally consumed during the holidays as an aperitif, after-dinner drink, or given as a gift and shared among friends and family —although we drink it all year.ðŸ¤

Notes
- How to Store
- Coquito will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you're ready to serve, shake or stir the coquito to combine.Â
- Make Ahead
- Coquito can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator in a pre-sterilized bottle or an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- How to Freeze
- We think the best way to enjoy Coquito is to drink it fresh and chilled; therefore, we do not recommend freezing it.
