ReplyDeleteThis is very true! Salud!
ReplyDeleteI love, love LOVE Coquito. There are a couple of recipe's out there and different versions. Some are good and many are GREAT! The version I grew up with in NYC with my Puerto Rican neighbors did not have eggs in it nor egg beaters, though I have had some versions with egg in them and I just don't feel it is a needed ingredient, it does not add much to the texture the cream of coconut already gives it. Instead, my NYC neighbor taught me to make her version from Bayamon, PR... it had condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, cream of coconut, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of allspice along with Bacardi Rum. Just as good! i have had other varieties using coconut rum or spiced rum....great idea to use flavored rum. I like the way you presented yours! Your version is good for being low fat...hehehe, but who wants to go low fat for Christmas coquito?! Bring on the full fat and enjoy the drink. We all know it is not the fat that is harmful...what is harmful is the sugar. Coquito is a sweet drink for sweet folks during the sweet holidays! It is for a special occasion! :) SALUD y FELIZ NAVIDAD!
