Puerto Rican Eggnog Recipe
Puerto Rican Eggnog (called Coquito) is a creamy, dreamy coconut-y twist on what you normally think of as eggnog. There are many ways to make this drink, and traditionally, it does not include eggs, but this version does. Why? Because the eggs make the drink even creamier and richer, so you really can’t go wrong with adding a couple of egg yolks. But if that idea doesn’t appeal to you, just leave them out.
Try our eggnog cinnamon rolls, too!
Puerto Rican Eggnog Recipe
Ingredients
- One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- One 14-ounce can cream of coconut milk
- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup white rum
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground clove
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of water
Instructions
- Cook the beaten yolks and evap. milk on medium heat until it thickened.
- As you stir constantly the mixture should thicken enough to coat your spoon.
- After this transfer your mixture to a blender.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blend for about 30 seconds.
- Pour into a glass bottle and chill overnight.
Just look at it. Doesn’t it scream Christmas? Get your blender ready, and try not to drink too much before it chills. Okay, you can try a taste or two, but I promise, it’s much better when chilled overnight.
Pour into glasses (small or big… we won’t judge), sprinkle with some fresh cinnamon, and drink up.

Glad it was tasty! Just shake it up or whisk it to get the chunks out.
