Coquito (Puerto Rican spiced coconut drink)

Christmas in Puerto Rico will not be full with out a few bottles of coquito for everybody. Usually generally known as “Puerto Rican eggnog,” coquito combines the flavors of wealthy cream and heat spices of that vacation drink with tropical flavors like coconut and rum (if you wish to add a twist to the drink, that’s).

There are a lot of methods to make coquito. The simplest requires little greater than mixing coconut milk, coconut cream, evaporated milk, and condensed milk together with spices like floor cinnamon till foamy; add slightly rum, chill it within the fridge and also you’re prepared.

This model is a bit more difficult, but it surely’s value it with layers of taste. First, we create a spiced “tea” by steeping condensed milk with a complete cinnamon stick, cloves, and ginger slices. These solids are strained after which combined with the opposite substances, though we omit the coconut cream, which we contemplate makes an especially candy drink (nevertheless, if that sweetness and the extra intense taste of coconut are to your liking, we can’t ). I do not blame you for placing in a can of coconut cream.)

The final step of our recipe is non-obligatory, which consists of additionally mixing the egg yolks, to acquire a richer and creamier drink. This isn’t one thing you see in lots of fashionable blender-only coquitos recipes at this time, however it isn’t untraditional. Add them if you’d like or skip them. As much as you.

The identical goes for rum. Coquito is scrumptious with or with out it, though we expect the sunshine contact of alcohol helps steadiness the flavors nicely.
