So one night I am enjoying the company of some friends and we
are playing games and having a good time. We are playing XBOX connect. We chose
to get a drink and have some snacks. One of my friends brings a drink called
Coquito. It was so good. I asked her what was in it but she wouldn’t tell me.
Coquito is normally served around Christmas holiday. It is a Spanish drink some
say it is Dominican and others say it is a Puerto Rican drink, never-the-less
it is a good drink lol. So I went to my Dominican friends to get the recipe and
it was funny because they all drink it but they had to ask older family members
to learn how to make it. So we decided to make the drink together. I had
another get together and we made the drink Coquito. Here’s how we did it.
- 2 15-ounce cans of creamof coconut
- 2 14-ounce cans of condensed milk
- 6 ounces white rum (use less if you like)
- 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon coconut or vanilla extract
Now that we have made the drink, we were told to let it sit
in the freezer for at least 1 hour because it has to be served cold. The older
Dominicans say that the drink taste totally different when it is warm or not
cold. So after the hour passes we take it out the freezer and drink it and
man-Oh-man it is good. Try it or let me know if you have had it before.
That sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing, I am definitely going to try making it myself!
ReplyDeleteHands-down, my favorite Christmas drink. My wife and I make it with cachaça instead of rum, and perhaps a bit stronger than the recipe above.
