Coffee Coquito
December 10, 2020 • Beverages,
Did you enjoy the traditional coquito recipe I posted last week? Want something with less coconut and a little more kick to it? This coffee version probably shouldn’t be called coquito because it doesn’t have any coconut milk or coconut cream in it. Rather, it’s a simple blend of evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, rum and coffee with just a bit of sugar to sweeten it up. I like to think of this as the Puerto Rican version of Bailey’s Irish cream.
