Liquid Memoir | How to make the BEST Coquito @LiquidMemoir | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Puerto Rico is known for many things. Music, beaches, food and their long Christmas season. Coquito is their traditional Holiday drink. Coquito is usually made with Coconut Cream, Sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. I took the traditional recipe and elevated it with housemade ingredients. Join me today for a little bit of tradition and Puerto Rican Coquito, an eggnog with no eggs and coconut base deliciousness.

RECIPE
MY COQUITO:
3oz (90ml) Coquito mix (Recipe Below)
1oz (30ml) Puerto Rican Aged Rum
.75oz (22.5ml) Aged Jamaican Rum
.25oz (7.5ml) Overproof White Jamaican Rum
Garnish with a generous amount of freshly grated nutmeg.
*NOTE* I like my coquito a bit boozy. To make this more approachable cut both Jamaican rums by half. You could instead simply use 1.5oz (45ml) of Aged Rum and that makes a much more approachable coquito. I encourage you to play around with the rums!
Coquito Mix:
· Spiced Tea (Recipe Below)
· 2cups (475ml) of Coconut Puree (amzn.to/2KFmYO8) -or- 1 2/3 cups (300ml) of unsweetened coconut cream and 1/2 cup (95ml) of filtered water
· 2cups (475ml) Housemade Coconut Cream -or- 1 can of Coco Lopez (amzn.to/3oX0Nl2)
· 1.25cups (300ml) Housemade Sweetened Condensed Milk (recipe Below) -or- 1 Can of Sweetened Condensed milk (amzn.to/3al3Yiw)
· OPTIONALLY add 2cups (475ml) of Aged Puerto Rican Rum or any other Aged rum. Add rum to taste
-Add all the ingredients to a large blender or pot. Blend or mix all the ingredients until everything incorporates. Transfer the mix to bottles and add 1 cinnamon stick to each bottle. Refrigerate overnight.
Spiced Tea:
2 cups (475ml) of Filtered Water
3 cinnamon sticks (crushed)
3 cardamom pods (lightly crushed)
4 cloves
1 star anise
1 vanilla bean - split the vanilla bean open in half and scoop out with a spoon the vanilla.
Add all the spices. Bring water to a boil. Let the spices boil for 1 minute, then immediately reduce to a simmer. Let the spiced tea cool down for a bit.
