Instructions
-
Place cream of coconut, condensed milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in blender container; cover. Blend on high speed until well blended and smooth. Whisk in rum until well blended.
Test Kitchen Tip: If your blender container is big enough, you can add the rum right to the pitcher and blend!
-
Pour coquito mixture into glass bottles or large jars with lids, leaving enough space to shake and mix after chilling. Refrigerate until well chilled.
-
To serve, shake well to distribute spices and rum. Serve in small glasses sprinkled with additional ground cinnamon and garnished with a cinnamon stick, if desired.
Test Kitchen Tip: For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons McCormick® Rum Extract, if desired!
