The History of Coquito
Coquito has its roots in Puerto Rico, where it is often referred to as the island's version of eggnog. However, unlike eggnog which is made with egg yolks, coquito is made with coconut milk, giving it a unique and tropical twist. The drink is typically served during the holiday season, especially during Christmas and New Year's celebrations. It is believed that coquito originated in the 19th century when Puerto Ricans added coconut to their traditional holiday drinks to make them more refreshing in the warm climate.
The Ingredients
The key ingredient in coquito is coconut milk, which gives the drink its rich and creamy texture. This can be easily found in any grocery store, but for an authentic taste, Goya's Coconut Milk is highly recommended. Other essential ingredients include condensed milk, evaporated milk, and rum, which give coquito its signature sweetness and kick. Goya's Condensed and Evaporated Milk are perfect for this recipe as they are made with high-quality ingredients and add a rich and velvety texture to the drink.
The Recipe
To make coquito, simply blend together the coconut milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and rum until well combined. Then, add in some cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract for a touch of warmth and spice. These ingredients not only add flavor but also give coquito its signature aroma. Once blended, pour the mixture into a bottle or jar and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, pour the coquito into glasses and sprinkle some cinnamon on top for an extra festive touch.
