Coquito may translate to little coconut, but this boozy drink is big on coconut flavour. Traditionally served around Christmas, this holiday drink originated in Puerto Rico and is made with rum, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and spices. It’s delicious served very cold, with a dusting of fresh nutmeg on top.

directions

Step 1

Put the cream of coconut, condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk beverage, rum, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a blender and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a pitcher, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, about 1 hour.

Step 2
