Christmas Day has come and gone but Puerto Ricans ,like many other Latinos, know that the holiday is far from over. We still have to look forward to New Year’s and in many Latin American nations, Three King’s Day. Many of our holiday traditions are based around food and drinks. One of my favorites is Puerto Rican Coquito. It’s like egg nog only a million times better. What makes coquito so good? Rum of course! Everyone has there own coquito receta. One Rican mami in Florida links to a Coquito receta:
30 ounces coconut milk
14 ounces condensed milk
1 cup Bacardi rum
½ cup water
pinch of salt
½ tsp. cinnamonMix all ingredients in the blender. Taste and [add] more rum if you like it stronger. You need to add the water because it will get thicker later in the fridge. Pour into a bottle and refrigerate well. Make ahead for richer flavor. Serve in small glassware.
