I just got back from a visit to Puerto Rico. This drink was being sold by the bottle in stores. The merchants explained it is like Egg Nog to us. I bought some, and I love it. This is the homemade version. This is the non egg version. It will keep up to 3 weeks. Eggnog lover, or not. This will be a hit. I acquired a recipe that is genuine. I had a Spanish friend help translate it to me in English. Special thanks to Wanda. I have made both Vanilla and chocolate. This is a very delicious addition to the holiday festivities. A great gift to give as well. Enjoy!

How To Make chocolate coquito (holiday coconut choc. drink)

  • 1
    In a sauce pan, mix the coffee, cocoa, and chocolate chips with 1 can of evaporated milk.
  • 2
    Heat on medium and stir until chocolate chips melt together with cocoa and milk. Stir constantly.
  • 3
    Into the pan, add the remaining can of evaporated milk with the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • 4
    Blend together. Add the remaining ingredients except alcohol. ( You may omit alcohol if desired). If omitting alcohol, add more evaporated milk to make it less sweet.
  • 5
    Mix until all combined well. Heat stirring until cream of coconut is blended in well. Cool. In batches in a blender mix with the alcohol. Mix about 1 minute. Pour batches together into a large bowl or kettle. Stir all together well. Pour in to a pitcher with cover or individual bottles with a funnel. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks. This tastes delicious. It gets even better after 2 - 3 days refrigerated. All of the ingredients meld together nicely.
