Coquito | Christmas isn’t Christmas in Puerto Rico without a glass of cold coquito (co-kee-to). If you don’t know what’s coquito my heart hurts for you because it’s the best thing EVER! I like to call it eggnog’s better tasting sassy cousin. Even though it’s nothing like eggnog.
I make bottles of this every year and give away as gifts to friends and family. Bring a bottle of coquito to any holiday party and I am positive you will be invited back the next year.
Christmas means its time for coquito! Coquito is a rich creamy coconut and rum drink that is served in Puerto Rico for Christmas.
Can You Get Drunk Off Coquito? This depends on how much alcohol you add to the coquito mixture. If you’re adding just enough for flavor’s sake, you might get a little buzzed, but definitely not drunk. However, if you go heavier on the alcohol, such as the entire bottle, then yes, you’ll definitely get drunk.
Is that Enough Rum?
In the recipe, I suggest 1 1/2 cups of rum. If that sounds like too much start with 1 cup and add more to taste. I like to add just enough rum that it’s prickly on the back of your throat and warms you on the inside. It will be one of the few drinks you’ll have that is cold that warms you up.
Just be careful because the flavor of the rum gets stronger the longer the drink “marinades”.
How to Make Coquito
This is literally one of the easiest recipes ever. However, it did not use to be so easy. Before canned coconut milk or cream of coconut people would have to grate fresh coconut and squeeze the coconut milk into a large bowl. But today all you need is a can opener.
All that is is required is to combine all ingredients into a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Then chill in the refrigerator before serving.
