Yeah I’m half Puerto Rican and Mexican as well. Coquito power!
We make this every year as part of our traditional Trini (Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies) Christmas, we call it punch-a-creme, we use eggs normally and use Royal Oak Trinidad Golden Rum...I am already sterilizing my bottles to prepare some shortly. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas 🎄🥰
Totally making this on christmas! Happy holidays from Finland! ❤🎁🇫🇮
👋 *Mexrican, me too!*
I came across your video looking for a good coquito recipe. Happy to come across your video. I will try your recipe 😋
*MERRY CHRISTMAS* 🎅 🎄🤶
We make ours with the homemade spice tea added to it. I've never seen it done without the tea. I'll have to try it this way one year.
@Ariel, I agree with you. Traditional coquito should always have "the homemade spice tea" in it. But FYI coquito recipes are usually different and can vary among the generations that live outside the island. As a local my belief is that maybe some information of the ingredients could have been lost between the generations or some did not live on a country with supermarkets that provided what they needed and they just had to fix the recipe accordingly. By bringing this up I don't mean any disrespect to noone in the diaspora whatsoever. Every day we learn something new. And coquito without "the spice tea" and the Coco Lopez coconut cream doesn't taste the same.
🍾 For whoever is interested in adding the "tea" that @Ariel_530 mentioned. It is made of 1 cup of water and aprox. 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks, 8 cloves, 2-3 stars anis, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder (or about 3/4 inch of peeled ginger root finely cutted) and 1/3 teaspoon of nutmeg or allspice. *The amount can vary depending on your taste. Let it boil for about 5 minutes and then let it cool before draining it. Add 1/2 cup of that deliciously fragrant tea to your ingredients on your next traditional, nutella, pistachio or pumpkin coquito and you'll thank me later. Always serve chilled and enjoy. 😀
Thanks I will try this recipe happy holidays
Mexirican awesome combination. Thanks for your Coquito recipe. I'll make some this upcoming weekend. Happy holidays
Yey! Enjoy it! I made a pumpkin spice recipe I put up last week for thanksgiving and that’s what I’m making this week again lol 😂
Got all the stuff. Making a few bottles later today. Hope it turns ok. Normally I pay friends to make it for me, this year Ima give it a go.
Yessss!!!!! Cheers to you! Tag me on Instagram or Facebook I’d love to see! 💕
@@thebusymami Only thing I didn't have the ingredients for the "tea", so I seasoned it with Nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla and a touch or half can extra of Creme de Coconut. It's good but tommorow is gonna be slammin.. I also used Wrey and Nephew mixed with Malibu Coconut rum.
Yummmmm!!! So excited!
Your quality is on point

Got to try this
Yey! Let me know when you do! 💕
@@thebusymami i will
@@thebusymami i just made Some not bad
Will you show us how to make more Coquito flavors besides the traditional please?
I did a pumpkin spice one and I’m gonna have to do a coffee one and a guava one too! :)
@@thebusymami do you have a video on it? I want to see the pumpkin spice and definitely the guava.
Hello busymamy. can you tell me please, the brand of the vanilla? I can't ever find one I really like or love. A couple times I used to get homemade vanilla somebody used to bring from Honduras but didn't get the chance to ask for the recipe. and it didn't taste of alcohol at all like the vanilla I had tried. Specially McCormick is more alcohol than nothing else.
I never use condensed milk. But everyone makes it differently.
Have you done it with Capt Morgan spice rum
I haven’t I don’t like spiced rum :/ but it prob adds a nice dimension! I like the plain rum better since there is so much flavor in it :)
Dark rum ok to use too? Can u put a little of dark and white rum in the recipe??
Yes you can mix it just sometimes can change the flavor especially if it’s spiced dark rum
I use bacardi coconut rum
I see how you put Nutmeg and Cinnamon . I put Pumpkin spice and instead of Vanilla I use Pual Masson Brandy and chopped Raisins .
My first choice of Puerto Rican Rum is ( Don Q or 151 Don Q) second ( Palo Viejo).
I can never make enough Coquito.
I’m posting a pumpkin spice coquito I just made this weekend omgggg it was so good!! I’ll have to try the raisins! 😋 salud!
Barcardi is Cuban rum, though it is made in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
Hi I'm puerto rican and I want to make coquito and I have 10 water bottle and is 22 oz and i have 3 can of coconut cream and 3 can of coconut milk is that enough and how many bottle of Bacardi should I buy
Thanks for your recipe it was very simple and easy to follow. The condensed milk is sweet I use it a lot. One can always use less. Continue sharing your recipes I am definitely there for it. The recipe is so good it makes you wanna lick 😋 your fingers ☺️🤌.
Do you know how to keep it from getting clumpy after putting in the fridge? I know its the crema de coco seperating but any way from stopping that?
Not really sadly, but I let it sit a bit outside the fridge
Is coconut milk and coconut cream the same ? Can I use one can coconut milk, one evaporated and one condense milk ????
It’s not the same but you can use coconut milk it will just not be as creamy or coconutty :) (that’s not a word but here we are lol)
@@thebusymami thank you and I made it for the first time yesterday and omg it’s out of the world. I’m from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 and ours they call it Punch De Cream and they use eggs, so I didn’t want to use eggs and oh how I would be making the PR vision now. This was really helpful and I actually used my Trinidad rum called Puncheon which is aka Fire water cause it’s 70+% white rum 😂 oh how that tasting so good and I planned to make another batch next week to give to three friends of ours. Thank you so much dear 🙏🏾
What’s the flavor difference between white rum and dark?
Gold rum or dark rum I feel weighs it down a bit it feels heavier when you drink it and it changes the color a bit. However it’s totally up To you :)
Can you make a new Year's drank
Hello I am a Half puerto Rican from Canada that is wanting to make Coquito for my first time this Xmas (I have never actually tasted it but we decided to make Pernil and coquito), but have run into a big problem...I can get most ingredients except Cream of coconut (they only have coconut cream and milk which google says are not the same) and I read another recipe that said if you do not have cream of coconut you could use coconut extract ... I know not having the Cream of Coconut probably ruins it all, but does anyone have any tips how I could still make it taste how coquito is supposed to taste?
Hola! You will be ok without cream of coconut you it just helps with thickness as well, but don’t worry about it and don’t stress the flavor will be great still with just coconut extract to add more coconut flavor. You can mix all the ingredients you have and taste it if it needs more add more coconut milk 💕 you got this! And Pernil is 🤤 so food! Sending you all the good luck vibes! But know that what ever you make will be amazing because it was made with love by you! Feliz Navidad! 🎄
@@thebusymami thank you very much for the response, so I had seen yours and others did not have coconut milk so I hadnt gotten it but since i dont have that cream of cocunt i just use the milk and it just wont be thick now? Would you recommend just one can if i have one can of evaporated milk and one can of condensed ?
@@thebusymami also I just found a simply squeeze Cream of Coconut brand coco reàl, would that work instead of the real goya or coco lopez?
Yes you definitely need all four different cans to make a great Coquito and for it to be authentic
I actually add coconut milk also but she only added coconut cream. You can add both that's how my family does it. We also add vanilla extract, cinnamon. There's alot UA-camrs with awesome coquito recipe.
Bacardi is actually a Cuban rum btw but it’s still good to make with
Que complejo..siempre se quieren llevarse el credito..igual con la salsa..ya van mas de 100 anos que bacardi se fue de su pais y siguen con el mismo cuento..quien lo produce le dio fama mundial a los dos...no fueron ustedes.
half full glass only way to drink it hehe
I made it before and put it in plastic jar and it cuddled some in a glass bottle and it was fine was it the plastic
Yea the plastic doesn’t seem to be the best. I try using glass bottles when I make it if I have them Unless we’re drinking the whole thing that night lol
I made this and I tasted this, delicious, however I put it in the fridge overnight and now it's all congealed/wont pour out of the bottle. Any suggestions?
Yes! Just let it sit out a bit and shake it hard :) it does that sometimes! I also sometimes add some coconut water and shake :)
@@thebusymami Thx! I cant wait to enjoy it properly.
Use one can of condense milk instead of 2, and one can of coconut milk
I have coconut rum- is that a no no?
You can use coconut rum if you want it will just add a different flavor but I’m sure still good!
It’s good we with Malibu coconut rum or even Capitán Morgan
Made this and it was great, but waaay too sweet for the kids, had to add water. I've watched other videos and they added a can of coconut milk but you didn't, why? Teach me
Instead of nutmeg can I use allspice?
You can, you can actually omit nutmeg some people don’t use it and just use cinnamon. So it’s really whatever spice you’d prefer. If you use all spice though I’d only use a pinch. :)
She poured the alcohol in...and tried it b4 she blended it. She's not rookie cause i know that first sip would have been strong AF for me.
Ha yes it was strong 💪🏾 but that’s how I like it 😉
I put mine in the fridge and now it's a solid? Did I do something wrong?
Hey! No you didn’t it gets thick in the fridge because of the coconut cream leave it on the counter a bit and then shake it up. Should be all good! Also you can add some
More coconut water if you want to thin it out a bit but I like mine a little thicker with ice :)
So go buy coconut water and reblend it? Or would coconut milk work ?
Coconut milk in place of evaporated, coconut milk is better tastier
No coconut milk??
Depends I make it a few ways with coconut water or coconut milk. The water has the coconut chunks so I like it better ha ha but you can do either
Is there a way to make it keto?
Yes, if you make meto condensed milk. I’ve been workin on a recipe! Hoping to have it soon for y’all!
I made some coquito, but I don’t think it came out right, I should’ve watched this video first lol
Dang! Well the food thing is it’s pretty easy you just need the ingredients so I say, if at first you don’t succeed try try again and when you do succeed try again, because it’s so good you will want more anyway 😉
This is going to sound weird but is there a nonalcoholic version?
Not weird at all! Yep! Just don’t add the rum and add some coconut water to thin it out a bit 😋 still super yummy!
Where's the coconut milk?? 🧐
I don’t use coconut milk for this version because it gets too thick when it chills for me it’s almost like an Ice cream base. But I did use it with my pumpkin spice coquito recipe and it was yummy, but I think I’ll skip the coconut milk because I don’t like it as thick but you can add it too if you like it :) what’s your recipe? I’d love to try it! 💕
Oh my I must know more about this pumpkin conquito. Please
It’s on my page :) pumpkin spice coquito 🤤
Bacardi is not Puerto Rican rum it’s Cuban. We Puerto Ricans use palo viejo or pitorro
I actually use Don Q but I was out when I filmed this so you’re right :) but thank you for your comment and hope you enjoy some yummy coquito 🤤
I’m sorry but Bacardi is not from Puerto Rico read what the bottle says 😬 great video by the way
You’re right lol I meant the factory in Pr :) hope you made some yummy coquito! 🤤
P.r. version no one i know uses powder cinnamon. Horrible way to put us out there. Lol
Everyone I know uses powdered cinnamon and then we add the sticks after so not sure, but we all have different recipes. This is from my family from PR :) merry Christmas 🎄
To bad it’s not keto friendly 😂 😭
1coconut milk 🥥 🥛 1tbs almond and coco rallado omg 🤤💪🇵🇷🧋 🥴
Btw puedes hacer keto coquito vine la condense milk keto o la puedes hacer tu misma 🙌
Gracias! Lo voy a hacer pronto!
what is the shelf life ?
My version of coquito (with no egg) will last in an airtight container refrigerated for 4-6 months. Sometimes the coconut will solidify a bit when cold so let it sit out on the counter about 10 mins and shake it up and 😋
No one truly knows because fact is it’s gone before everyone gets some. Somehow it disappears but no one has any. 🤔🤔
The video is good minus the sucking of your fingers.
Thanks! I realized that this year, no one has made that comment until this year which makes sense because germs this year are high. Side note I made this for me and my husband and we drank it all and I didn’t actually touch the liquid with my fingers and washed my hands before I stored it. So all food there, but I am thinking I have to refilm it this year because this is the 5th comment in a few days about it and I posted it a year ago :/ thanks for watching! Sorry about the licking 💕
@@thebusymami no need to apologize or give full explanation! Thanks for the recipes!!!
Sucking or licking of your finger has turned me off!
I’m fairly certain that she and her husband have shared a little more than licking fingers. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
This is not eggnog. It’s coquito...very different.
I know I called it Coquito, and i write Puerto Rican egg nog because people who’ve never had it can have an idea since it’s creamy and had around Christmas como el coquito se disfruta. :)
Thanks for the recipe. Will try it. Please stop licking your fingers and touching everything afterwards
Lol petty
Thats her coquito ! 😂😂
Lol
Ha triggered
Ummm its her house ...relax karen
Stir the alcohol in their,lol
No need ha ha I’ll take it like a shot ha ha! But in reality I blended it again after filming :)
Another quick question all videos say place in a glass jar, my daughter threw my fifth bottle away can I place in a plastic half gallon jug. Until I empty this bottle.
Hi! Yes you can but it will not last as long glass makes it last longer. But if it’s for something you’re serving in a few days you’re all good! :)
If you called EGGNOG you are not making coquito is called COQUITO for a reason!because like you say in your tittle no EGGS
I know I say it’s Puerto Rican egg nog so people understand the type of drink a sweet holiday thick milk based drink :) I was born in Puerto Rico and have been having it my whole life so I know :) however my dad does sometimes make it with two egg yolks and it’s pretty good too!
i like your recipe but can you not lick your fingers.
So I made this video 3 years ago before COVID and no one had noticed it until all this COVID stuff not even me 😂 good thing is this was just for the family and I also washed my hands :) I’ve def been more cautious of my hands since then :)
Coquito isn’t eggnog
🤢 licking your fingers constantly 🤢
¡¡IS NOT PUERTORICAN EGGNOG PLEASE!!! NO NEED ANY EGGS.
Puse eggnog para que la gente sepa lo que parece pero en el video mencionó que no tiene huevo.
Seriously, Coquito was invented in Puerto Rico and its not Mexican Cuisine.
Don't lick your fingers when you doing a video demonstration of preparing food or drink. Not sanitary. Don't get mad at me for bringing this out.
I’m not mad, I filmed it last year before COVID so I totally get how it’s more noticeable now more that ever. I never noticed it last year when I filmed :/
What do you care? She is not serving it to you personally. I think people just want to be annoying. They act like they are there.
Did you read when this was posted?
@@thebusymami today from.giddings texas my kid was listening from far away she came running .and said to me she's my girl finally someone like me referring to the love for cooking and
Also been mexican puerto rican.love from again giddings texas 78942
Dont lick your fingers. It looks tacky.
This was before Covid and this video had been up for over a year and since now more people are looking at it it’s sticking out more. Sorry if it bothered you. It was a batch I made for my family at home so it wasn’t for public, but I get why it might bother people. Sorry.
Puerto Rico y México, and she don't speak ESPAÑOL.
Well it's fine....
