Preparation

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, cream of coconut, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (if using). Blend until all the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.

Step 2: Add the Rum Add the white rum to the blender and blend again until well incorporated. Adjust the amount of rum according to your preference—more rum for a stronger drink, or less for a milder version.

Step 3: Chill the Mixture Pour the Coquito mixture into a large glass bottle or container. Seal it tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the drink’s creamy texture.

Step 4: Serve Before serving, shake the bottle well to ensure all the ingredients are mixed. Pour the Coquito into small glasses and garnish with a cinnamon stick for a festive touch. Serve cold and enjoy!
