Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rum
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 can (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 can (15 oz each) can cream of coconut (Coco Lopez)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) can coconut milk (with thick coconut cream on top)
  • can (4 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons shredded coconut, optional

Preparation

  • Put together in your blender the can ingredients (sweetened condensed milk, can cream of coconut, coconut milk, evaporated milk) plus the cinnamon and the vanilla
  • Start mixing in low speed
  • Mix for 2 minutes
  • Prepare a bottle with ¼ cup of rum, I use Bacardi white rum, but you can use your preferred brand
  • Pour in the mix until the bottle(s) is/are filled
  • This amount will be for bottles of 16 oz
  • You might have a total of 6 bottles

Note: Chill for at least 4 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and coquito to thicken. (The coconut cream will thicken as it chills.)

Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up 2 weeks. Shake vigorously each time before serving!
