Ingredients

1 1/2 cups rum

2 cinnamon sticks

4 oz raisins (optional)

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (15 oz) can cream of coconut (Coco Lopez or Goya brand)

1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk

4 oz evaporated milk

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

OPTIONAL: In a large pitcher with a lid (or two large jars with lids - this will make about 56 oz of liquid total) add rum, cinnamon sticks, and optional raisins (if using). Let sit for at least 1 hour, or up to a week. (This will add an extra depth of flavor to your coquito.)

In a blender, puree all the other ingredients. Pour into the bottle and shake well to combine with rum/raisins mixture.

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 6 weeks. Shake vigorously each time before serving!
