Coquito

We recently discovered this delicious Latin American drink which seems like a good equivalent to eggnog. If eggnog were a coconut delight.

This is from Cook's Country.

Coquito
Serves 8-10

Step 1
1 15-ounce can Coco Lopez cream of coconut
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1-1/4 cups gold rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Whisk all ingredients together in large pitcher until combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.

Step 2
Just before serving, working in batches, transfer cream of coconut mixture to blender and process until slightly frothy, about 1 minute per batch. Serve over ice, garnished with extra nutmeg.
