BASIC COQUITO
For years, my family and I have been searching for a good, traditional-tasting coquito recipe. After having tried the whole egg yolk thing, simply adding ingredients to regular eggnog, and others, I found the best-tasting to be the most basic. This recipe ensures everyone at the party gets a taste, but you may want to double the recipe, because most will not settle for just a shot's worth.

Steps:
- I have given out this recipe to some friends and family over time. All of them have said the same thing theirs does not taste like mine. The truth about being a great cook is you have to love to cook or entertain, if you are just doing it to do it, it will not taste right. Do it because you have passion for it.
- My personal spin on this goes like this:.
- 1. Get your blender setup and start by pouring (1) can of evaporated milk, and adding (3) tbs of cinnamon. Pulse the blender for about 3 seconds.
- 2. Pour in (1) can of condensed milk and pulse for 5 seconds.
- 3. Pour in (1) can of evaporated milk and pulse for 5 seconds.
- 4. Pour in (1) can of cream of coconut and pulse for 5 seconds.
- 5. Pour in last can of condensed milk (3) tbs of vanilla and add the (4) oz of rum. Mix in blender for about 1 minute.
- This should render about 2 liters of coquito. You can use sterilized empty wine bottles or purchase one. Pour into bottles or bottle and freeze for about (4) hours. This drink will not freeze completely, it will acquire the form of a melted ice cream. It is very rich, that is why it should be consumed as cold as possible. Enjoy.

Steps:
- In a large blender combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a pitcher and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Serve chilled.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your coquito. Fresh coconut milk is a must, and you can either make your own or use a good-quality store-bought brand.
- Don't overcook the coconut: Simmer it gently over low heat until it is fragrant and slightly thickened. Overcooking will make the coconut tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality rum: The rum is one of the most important ingredients in coquito, so don't skimp on it. Use a good-quality Puerto Rican rum like Don Q or Bacardi.
- Chill the coquito before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and mature. Serve it over ice or straight up.
- Garnish with cinnamon or nutmeg: This will add a festive touch to your coquito.
Conclusion:
Coquito is a delicious and versatile drink that can be enjoyed all year round. It's perfect for parties, holidays, or just a relaxing evening at home. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and festive appearance, coquito is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
