Holiday Chocolate Coquito

Chocolate Coquito Recipe: Puerto Rican Holiday Drink

 

Core Ingredients

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: Provides the primary sweetness and creamy texture. Choose high-quality brands to avoid overly sugary results.
  • Evaporated Milk: Adds a lighter, silky consistency that balances the richness.
  • Cream of Coconut (e.g., Coco López): Essential for the signature coconut flavor. Look for well-known brands like Coco López for authentic taste.
  • Coconut Milk: Complements the cream of coconut with its natural, slightly nutty flavor. Avoid coconut water or low-fat alternatives for a full-bodied drink.

Flavor Enhancers

  • Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Melted): The star ingredient for that indulgent chocolate taste. Opt for high-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for depth of flavor.
  • Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg: Infuse the drink with warm, holiday spices. Freshly ground spices yield the best results.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances the drink’s overall flavor profile. Pure vanilla extract is preferable over artificial substitutes.
  • Pinch of Salt: Balances the sweetness and intensifies the chocolate notes.
