A Merry Puerto Rican Christmas!

This year for Christmas instead of our traditional southern bourbon eggnog we decided to travel to the Caribbean.. through our glasses at least! :) The traditional holiday drink of Puerto Rico is Coquito and let me tell you that it is delish! My amazing friend came into town for Christmas Eve Mass and dinner, she is from Puerto Rico, so we decided to make this since she won't be able to make it home until January. My mom got this recipe from her friend Robin who is also Puerto Rican! Rest assured this recipe is as authentic as they come, so drink up!

Feel free to make your glasses festive for the holidays! :) I just rimmed them with lime then twirled them in sugar sprinkles!




Ingredients
1 can Coco Lopez (cream of coconut)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can coconut milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbs cinnamon (ground)
1 Tbs fresh ground nutmeg
2 cups dark rum
1/2 tsp lime zest
juice of half a lime

Recipe
1. Put the Coco Lopez and sweetened condensed milk in blender and mix
2. Add the coconut milk and evaporated milk in blender and mix
3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend
4. Pour over ice and top with some more fresh ground nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon




Feliz Navidad!
