Review of Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk - Nature's Charm by soybean31
Looking for a festive holiday drink?
The Coquito is a coconut based drink (similar to the eggnog we drink in the states), that's very popular in Puerto Rico.
My husband is Puerto Rican on his mom's side, so when we met I discovered this drink, and I have never looked back. This is so much better than the traditional eggnog of raw eggs in heavy cream.
The coquito is thick, creamy and coconutty!
Everyone has their own version of this holiday drink, and here is our vegan version of the Coquito.
Makes 6 generous servings
INGREDIENTS
11 oz sweetened condensed coconut milk
1 cup oat milk, I use full fat Oatly - or your favorite plant milk
27 oz coconut milk, unsweetened
1 cup white rum, such as Bacardi
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp cinnamon
freshly grated nutmeg, for topping the drinks
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all of the ingredients, except the nutmeg, into a blender and blend until smooth.
Transfer to a pitcher and chill a minimum of 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
Once chilled, pour into glasses and sprinkle with some freshly grated nutmeg.
*Once chilled some of the coconut cream tends to solidify, so you'll get little bits of coconut in the drink. Although not absolutely necessary, to get the Coquito perfectly smooth and creamy once again, I like to give it a quick blend, either with a whisk or in the blender, before serving.
