Liquids and Milks
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 8 ounces cream of coconut
- 6 ounces canned coconut milk
- 3 ounces non alcoholic rum (Lyres Spiced Cane Spirit)
- 2 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Flavorings and Spices
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish)
- 3 cinnamon sticks (optional garnish)
- 1 to 2 dashes non alcoholic aromatic bitters per serving (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add evaporated milk, cream of coconut, canned coconut milk, non alcoholic rum, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to a blender or food processor.
- Blend: Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Chill: Pour the blended mixture into an airtight glass container and refrigerate overnight or until completely chilled.
- Shake Before Serving: Shake the bottle well before pouring the coquito into glasses to ensure the ingredients are fully mixed.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with a dusting of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick. Optionally add 1 to 2 dashes of non alcoholic aromatic bitters to each serving and stir well before serving.
Notes
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- Adding non alcoholic aromatic bitters adds complexity and mimics an alcohol-like quality without alcohol.
- Use cinnamon sticks and ground cinnamon as garnish for a festive presentation.
- Make sure to shake well before serving since ingredients may separate when chilled.
