    When I make coquito, I think a little egg makes it thick and creamier. I use 1 tablespoon powdered egg. It calms people down about having egg in it. I also add just a pinch of salt. But using tea and real vanilla bean-I gotta try that!

    • @SenseandEdibility
      @SenseandEdibility  8 місяців тому

      Eggs definitely make it thicker, and as soon as you add it, in its natural state or in powder form, it becomes ponche, which really doesn't matter, but is important to tell people in case they have an eg allergy. I think you'll love it with the tea and vanilla bean.

I look forward to making it with them every year and try to gift as many bottles as possible to my friends and family. I haven't had a single complaint from anyone I've gifted a bottle to, and they always remember to ask me for another bottle the following year without me even mentioning it.

    Can’t wait to try…although will omit the spiced rum, & anisette ..not trying to encourage that licorice flavor…not a fan…w/ eggs it’s punch or egg nog…the one thing that surprised me is thought evaporated milk went in it.

    • @SenseandEdibility
      @SenseandEdibility  Рік тому +1

      The star anise doesn't encourage a licorice flavor like anisette (the liquor) would. You don't taste it on its own at all, but you can most certainly omit it if you want to.
      I don't add evaporated milk like most people to because it dilutes the flavor of the coconut which is what I'm here for. Enjoy it!

    Me gusta la proporción en los líquidos en la segunda parte, aunque prefiero variar la mitad de la leche condensada por "heavy cream" para disimular un poco el sabor intenso de la leche condensada. El te, o caldo de especias no lo había pensado con agua de coco, aunque si pensaba que se podía añadir a la otra parte del proceso. Eso si cambiaría el anís estrellado por semillas de anis.

    • @SenseandEdibility
      @SenseandEdibility  8 місяців тому

      I show it in the full recipe here: senseandedibility.com/coquito-cinnamon-coconut-rum-cocktail/. This is a step that I recommend as it strains any clumps of coconut fat that might have developed during the process. If you don't do it, you're likely to have some fat in the coquito which will cause it to be thicker after curing. You can drink it right from the blender, but it will taste more of alcohol than if you let it cure.

      I have no brand loyalty when it comes to from but I do try to keep it all in the same brand. I usually prefer Don Q in my cocktails since it's a PR rum, but their spiced rum is pretty pricey because it's aged (and I can't always find it anyway). So, I use Bacardí.
      You can use your favorite rum. Try to keep it as close to PR rum as you can just to honor our people.

    Grate recipe. One note you shouldn't add raw eggs to the blender. The egg yolks should be whisking with sugar and then temp with hot milk or coconut milk. Then you cook everything until it's thick. This gives more flavor, body, and keeps it from separating.

    • @SenseandEdibility
      @SenseandEdibility  Рік тому +1

      You don't need to go that extra step. The alcohol in the coquito cures the eggs so you don't need to do any tempering. When I've added eggs, I've never had an issue with the coquito separating. But, if it works for you, I'm happy to hear that.

      I address that in the video, but you can strain the the coquito before serving it. The fact is that the cream of coconut is nothing but the fat of the coconut meat, so you're going to have it incorporated into the coquito. Straining it through cheesecloth after curing it will help eliminate some of that.

    Hola chica... happy Saturday. Noticed that your receipe calls for 2 cans of coconut milk and no evaporated milk at all, where all other receipes call for 2 cans of evaporated milk and 1 can of coconut milk. Why no evaporated milk?

    • @SenseandEdibility
      @SenseandEdibility  9 місяців тому +1

      I’m a fan of very coconutty coquito and feel as though evaporated milk just dilutes the coconut flavor. If you want less coconut flavor you can totally replace the coconut milk with evaporated, though.

      Absolutely. The recipe on the site tells you how to substitute if you don't have the bean. Just add it to the coquito with the rums instead of adding it to the tea.

      You definitely have to keep it refrigerated, Alia. If you're making it WITH alcohol, it will keep for up to 6 months in the fridge. WithOUT alcohol, it's good for up to 10 days.

    • @SenseandEdibility
      @SenseandEdibility  2 роки тому +2

      If you want a thicker texture, you can decrease the amount of spice tea or rum you add. You can also add a cup of vanilla ice cream, but that's a bit much for me. Lastly, you can add 4 very fresh egg yolks to the blender after you add the rums. Some people say that turns it into ponche, but who cares?

      That makes sense.Is it overkill to infuse rum with actual coconuts?

    • @SenseandEdibility
      @SenseandEdibility  8 місяців тому

      Yes, I think it is overkill. Unless you're infusing the rum for weeks, it won't give what you're waiting for it to give. Distilling coconut in rum is a more detailed process, which gives the results I think you're wanting.

      Not when I'm making it with fresh coconut milk, no. I mean, even when I make it with canned coconut milk, I try to avoid using it. If you think about it, canned evaporated coconut milk is a better option than evaporated cow's milk because it adds more coconut flavor to the coquito.
