    Coquito

    I like to think of Coquito as egg nog's older, mature and well traveled sister. It's got all the creamy delicious-ness without as much of the heaviness. Made with coconut, cinnamon sticks, and rum, it's the perfect drink to warm you up on cold Winter nights.

    Virgin Blended Piña Colada

    Two Virgin pina coladas

    I'm not sure how this list would be complete without a solid Piña Colada recipe (or 3!) This virgin spin on the tropical drink is made with fresh pineapple and coconut cream and truly a dream on a hot summer day.

    Piña Colada on the Rocks

    If you don't have a blender or just prefer your drinks shaken, not blended, this is the perfect version of a piña colada for you! Made with pineapple juice and coconut milk, it captures the tropical essence of the drink in a low maintenance fashion.

    Strawberry Piña Colada

    Just in case you haven't found the Piña Colada that's right for you in this list of Puerto Rican recipes, this strawberry version is impossible to say no to. It truly feels like an alcoholic smoothie in the best way, but please remember to always drink responsibly!

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cinnamon sticks
    • 1 cup rum 
    • 1 tsp nutmeg
    • 2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
    • 2 (12oz) can of sweetened condensed coconut milk
    • 2 (14oz) can of coconut milk
    • ½ cup shredded coconut

    For the whipped coconut cream (optional)

    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream or 1 can coconut cream 
    • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

    Instructions

    1. In a large pitcher or container (with a lid) combine the cinnamon sticks and rum.
    2. In a blender, combine the spices, vanilla, coconut milk and sweetened condensed coconut milk. Blend for 1 minute or until smooth and creamy. 
    3. Pour the milk mixture into the rum and cinnamon mixture and set in the fridge overnight. Coquito should be ready to serve the next day. Mix well before serving and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. 

    Notes

    Note: To make the whipped coconut cream, add a can of coconut cream to the fridge the night before. In the morning, remove the cream from the can and whip until peaks begin to form. Mix in powdered sugar and continue to whip for another 1-2 minutes. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Recipe from Minimalist Baker.
