Coquito!

As promised, here is my recipe for Coquito. You’ll want to make this often. It’s a very comforting drink. Ahem. ;o)

1 large 25.5 oz can of Coconut MILK
2 cans of Coconut CREAM
2 cans of Condensed Milk
3 or 4 cans of Evaporated Milk
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbspn ground cinnamon
1 tbspn ground nutmeg
1 dash ground cloves
20 dashes of Angostura Bitters (get this at your local liquor store)
2 eggs (you can leave these out if you’d like)
1 lemon peel, grated
1.5 cups of white rum (I love to use Wray & Nephew, Jamaican rum. Even tho it’s a tad pricier it takes less of it to make it taste GOOOD!)

Get your biggest plastic mixing bowl and start pouring in ingredients and blending them in one at a time. After you’ve blended in all the ingredients, pour into glass bottles and chill – this makes about a gallon.

I love having a cup or 4 of this on ice on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. And sometimes, Wednesday!

ROFLMFAO. Thanks for posting this! I almost wish I didn’t read the recipe. I wonder how many extra pounds I picked up drinking all that I drank at your house. It’s not gonna stop me from making it though! And, I too can have a cup or 4!

YES!! Finally someone willing to divulge the ingredients of this wonderful drink. But, eggs? that’s ok? I’m guessing the alcohol kills any salmonella? Right? Thank YOu!!!
