Coquito

I got this recipe from a woman I used to work with in St Pete Florida…I have made a few changes to it just for the directions, as she said to put it all together and drink, so I had to come up with something a bit better. Read more I have no idea how many servings it makes. This is a Traditional Island/South American delicious Alcoholic drink. It is similar to, but nothing like, American Egg Nog. It is served for the Christmas Holidays mostly, but good anytime. Also goes by the name of – Ponche Crema. ‘THEY’ say that it will keep indefinitely, but I have yet to be in a home where this has been made and any is EVER left over after Christmas time. It just doesn’t happen. Coquito is usually served in shot glasses or small cups and it can sprinkled with grated nutmeg. So CHEERS! Chin Chin! Iechyd da! Lechaym! Salud! See less
Ingredients
- 1 c. water shopping list
- 2-3 cinnamon sticks shopping list
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. ground cloves shopping list
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, fresh grated is the best shopping list
- 4 egg yolks shopping list
- 1 14oz can Condensed Milk* shopping list
- 1 12oz can Evaporated milk* shopping list
- 1 15oz can Cream of Coconut* shopping list
- 1 15oz can coconut milk, optional* shopping list
- 1 fifth of GOOD light rum of your choice – I do not suggest using a dark rum, as it will change the colour and not be very pretty shopping list
- Old wine and/or liquor bottles that have been thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and dried. Can also use pretty clear bottles that you have decorated to give this made up recipe as gifts over the Holidays. The bottles with the metal bails and rubber stoppers are a nice idea to use as well for gifting to someone. And don’t forget to Gift one to yourself. shopping list
- * Wherever in the world that you live the sizes of these cans might differ a bit by an ounce or so either way. It really does not matter, as this is not a baked recipe, just liquids added together to create a Wonderful tasting Drink. So do not fret if the ounces are a bit different, it will still work. Trust me. shopping list
How to make it
- Put the water and spices into a pan and gently boil for a few minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks and let the liquid cool while you are opening the cans.
- Put the water mix into a large bowl.
- Add all the cans of milk, egg yolks and stir up really well.
- Add the Rum and taste :-)
- Might want to taste it again to be sure it tastes good.
- You can add a bit more ground nutmeg, ground cloves or ground cinnamon to your taste.
- Pour into the bottles that you have ready and cap them off well, and put in the refrigerator.
