when making a traditional Coquito, you dont use coconut cream thats a short cut and you can taste the difference at the end product. What you suppose to do is grind the coconut add the evaperate milk and squeeze the coconut milk out the coconut.

This recipe is exceptional! Real coquito does not contain eggs so I omitted them along with the 1/2 cup of water. I also didn't have any cloves but other than that followed the recipe to a 'T'. So creamy! Very sweet...could be thinned out with some milk if needed. This is not a drink that you would drink all night to get drunk, instead more of a dessert drink to sip on. I am going to bottle this to give as holiday gifts! Thanks so much for sharing!

This was so good. We left out the rum and added another 1/2c water making 1 cup total. We also added 1 cup milk to thin it out a tad more. It was perfect! This is now a tradition in our family every holiday season. Kids and adults were raving :)

This was sooooo delicious!! I made this for the holidays instead of eggnog and everyone loved it. One of our friends and myself are not huge fans of eggnog but we loved this. I only wish I had made more. I will definitely make this again next year.

This coquito recipe is quite tasty. Once you start drinking some it is difficult to put the glass down. Though I tripled the amount of rum. I felt as though 1/2 cup of rum is way too weak. I think adding a bit more rum gives it a better flavor.

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico but have been away for much too long. My mother still makes her coquito which we get from an old family cook book. My mother left us for the holidays this year and went to Puerto Rico without any coquito :( So, I decided that it was time to make my own. I found this recipe and started reading the reviews. All I can say is thank you soooo soooo soooo much! This is the best, and I do mean best coquito I've ever had (better than mami's)!!! I did a couple of my improvisations but wow, again THANK YOU!!!!

Exactly as Remembered, I made this for my Dad, for Christmas & New Years. It was amazing, the Memories, my dad, said it needed more Rum, even though I add 1/2 cup more Dark Rum. Its was just wonderful and full of Puerto Rican Tradition. 10 Stars, thank for the recipe

Great recipe and a lot easier than grating and straining real coconut. The only change I made was to add a pinch of nutmeg and replaced the white rum with spiced rum. I used the double boiler but I agree that it was not necessary, you just have to be more mindful of the mixture as you're heating it.

I made this to bring to Christmas Day dinner at my in-laws and the whole family raved about it! They are all PuertoRican and said it was the best they've had. (It was a great bonding moment for us!!!) The only ajustments I made were I cooked it straight on the stove, I added some nutmeg and i used 1/2 cup of spiced rum as well as the white rum. Thank you so much for the recipe!!

Very good, but very sweet - needs some more rum (to taste). Also, it tastes better after sitting for a day or two in the fridge.

Thank you so much! This was a major hit at my work...(probably shouldn't have brought it to work) but everyone loved it! I made another batch for Noche bueno!! I boiled the ev. milk and eggs in a smaller pot over a bigger pot filled with water. Thank you so much! I love the puerto rican culture!

Extremely good. This is how coquito is supposed to taste. I asked my grandmother for her recipe and then I couldn't find it. This one is pretty much the same except mi abuela doesn't cook the eggs AND she puts A LOT more liquor...too much I think. You can add more to this but too much takes away from the wonderful flavors. ENJOY and Merry CHRISTmas!!!

Absolutely love this stuff! Is a touch on the sweet side too, but still very good. I did do a couple of things differently though. First of all, I couldn’t find any cream of coconut so I substituted a can of the sweetened condensed milk and 1 tsp coconut extract for that. Secondly, I didn’t add any rum because my son may want to drink some. So I may add a bit to a glass I have later. And not just any rum, I will try Malibu coconut rum. After it was done in the blender I put it in some cleaned out wine bottles and set them outside for a couple of hours. They ended up freezing (because it’s 30 below today) but thawed in a short period of time. Will definitely make this again for Christmas!

I made a big batch of this for our christmas party and it was a hit. I only used three eggs and didn't even cook them. I beat them with some of the milk and presto! I mixed it in separate batches in my blender. I used to have my own recipe for coquito, but I am putting it to rest. Thank you Brandy for your recipe.
