COQUITO
Coquito may translate to little coconut, but this boozy drink is big on coconut flavor. Traditionally served around Christmas, this holiday drink originated in Puerto Rico and is made with rum, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and spices. It's delicious served very cold, with a dusting of fresh nutmeg on top.

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.

COQUITO
Coquito, which means "little coconut" in Spanish, is an eggnog-like mixture of coconut milk, eggs, sweetened condensed milk and rum or pitorro, a sort of moonshine rum. Coconut and rum cocktails are made throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, but coquito is unique to Puerto Rico. This recipe, which is adapted from the 1975 cookbook "Puerto Rican Cookery" by Carmen Aboy Valldejuli, was created by her husband, who tended bar during the couple's holiday parties at their home in San Juan. His recipe calls for shelling and pressing fresh coconuts to make your own coconut cream, but canned coconut cream makes an excellent substitute.

Steps:
- If using canned coconut cream, skip to Step 3. If using fresh coconuts, puncture one or two of the eyes of each coconut with a sharp knife or screwdriver; strain the coconut water into a bowl. Place coconuts on a stable surface, supported by a kitchen towel. Using a hammer, crack each coconut into 3 or 4 pieces. Slip a thin knife between the flesh and shell to separate it. (To make this easier, you can roast the coconut pieces on a sheet pan at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.) Discard shells. Break or chop coconut flesh into 1-inch pieces.
- Place about 1/3 of the pieces in a blender with 1 cup strained coconut water. Blend until coconut is broken into about 1/8-inch pieces; place in a clean dish towel and squeeze over a bowl to extract as much liquid as possible. Reserve coconut bits for another use. Pour 1 cup of the liquid back into the blender with another 1/3 of the coconut pieces, blend, then squeeze to extract liquid. Repeat with final 1/3 of coconut pieces. Measure out 3 1/3 cups of fresh coconut cream. (If necessary, blend another cup of coconut water with a batch of coconut bits, and squeeze again to extract more liquid from the coconut until you have 3 1/3 cups.)
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. To a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of the coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Whisking the egg yolks constantly, slowly pour the hot mixture into yolks, until smooth and frothy. Stir in the rum, if using, salt, and the remaining coconut cream.
- Strain the coquito through a fine-mesh strainer into bottles or jars. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 1 week. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Shake well, pour into glasses, sprinkle with nutmeg and serve immediately.
