Coquito Eggnog
[ko • kee • tow]
Spanish for “little coconut,” coquito is a traditional Christmas beverage originating in Puerto Rico.
This recipe is built for the hustle of the holidays; it contains all pantry items (nothing perishable) and can be made and refrigerated up to two weeks in advance.
For simplicity and shelf life, this version does not use egg yolks. But if you can’t bear drinking nog without egg– and you’re familiar in the ways of tempering and food safety around eggs– this recipe can be enriched even further with the addition of two yolks. Canned coconut milk is commonly used, however, fresh coconut milk may be substituted for lighter flavor and consistency.
