Coquito<br />
Yield: 56 oz<br />
Staff member Robin Black’s pick for best holiday beverage!<br />
Prep Time: 20 minutes<br />
• 1 ½ cups dark rum or spiced<br />
rum, if you prefer. (Brugel is a<br />
nice one)<br />
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened<br />
condensed milk* (or sweetened,<br />
condensed coconut milk)<br />
• 1 (15 oz) can cream of coconut**<br />
(or coconut cream)<br />
• 1 (15 oz) can coconut milk<br />
• 1 (15 oz) can evaporated milk<br />
(or use second can of coconut<br />
milk or coconut cream)<br />
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure<br />
is best)<br />
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg<br />
• 1 vanilla pod - split open and<br />
sliced in half lengthways (one<br />
for each bottle)<br />
• 2 cinnamon sticks<br />
• 4 tablespoons shredded coconut,<br />
optional to rim glasses<br />
This thick and creamy Coquito recipe is a Puerto Rican tradition that is loaded with<br />
coconut, rum and cinnamon for an extra thick and creamy coconut eggnog style drink.<br />
This holiday beverage can also be made dairy free by using coconut based products.<br />
And, eliminate the rum for an alcohol-free beverage.<br />
1. In a blender, puree all liquid ingredients and powdered spices (not vanilla bean<br />
or cinnamon sticks). Pour into bottles with lids and shake well. I like to use the PC<br />
embossed plastic water bottles with lids<br />
2. Add ½ vanilla pod and 1 cinnamon stick per bottle.<br />
3. Chill for at least 4 hours (1 week is better) to infuse the flavours and store in an<br />
airtight container in refrigerator for up to a month.<br />
4. You have to shake vigorously before pouring, since the coconut cream will harden<br />
at the top of the bottle.<br />
5. Serve in glass. Ice optional. Decorative cinnamon stick optional. Rimmed glass<br />
with coconut optional.<br />
*While the traditional recipe has milk products in it, you can make it using all<br />
coconut-based products if you need it to be dairy free. <strong>The</strong> biggest challenge will<br />
be finding sweetened condensed coconut milk - harder to find at mainstream<br />
stores but T & T, Walmart or Food Basics will likely have it, as well as the cream of<br />
coconut and/or coconut cream.<br />
**recipe note: cream of coconut is commonly made by Goya. It is a very thick,<br />
sweetened coconut milk with chunks of shredded coconut in it. This is not the same<br />
as coconut cream that only has coconut listed on the ingredients. But, in a pinch,<br />
you can use Coconut Cream as a replacement for cream of coconut.<br />

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder<br />
• 3/4 cup white sugar<br />
• 1 pinch salt<br />
• 1/3 cup boiling water<br />
• 3 1/2 cups milk (or milk substitute)<br />
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream<br />
(optional, but makes it so decadent)<br />
• Marshmallows (optional garnish)<br />
Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch<br />
of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the<br />
boiling water. Bring this mixture to an<br />
easy boil while you stir. Simmer and<br />
stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that<br />
it doesn’t scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of<br />
milk and heat until very hot, but do<br />
not boil! Remove from heat and add<br />
vanilla. Divide between 4 mugs. Add<br />
the cream to the mugs of cocoa to<br />
cool it to drinking temperature, top<br />
with marshmallows - Enjoy!<br />
