On the Rocks: Coquito.
A coquito is the Puerto Rican equivalent of a really good, creamy eggnog. If eggnog tasted tropical and coconutty that is. Feliz Navidad!
Ingredients:
– 2 egg yolks, beaten
– 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
– 1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut
– 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
– 1/2 cup white rum
– 1/2 cup water
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In the top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks and evaporated milk. Stirring constantly, cook over lightly simmering water until mixture reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer mixture to a blender, and add cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, rum, water, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend for about 30 seconds. Pour into glass bottles, and chill overnight.
