Uno
In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth and fully mixed.
Dos
Transfer the coquito to a glass pitcher or large, sealed container. We know you’re tempted to pour it straight into a glass, but trust us—don’t skip this step. We need to let the drink chill so the milk and cinnamon can infuse together.
Tres
Chill in the fridge for one to two hours—seriously, just relax while it does its thing.
Cuatro
When you’re ready to serve, shake the bottle or stir the pitcher to break up any solidified ingredients. Pour into small, chilled jars and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg or cinnamon. For an extra touch, add a cinnamon stick to each glass.
Enjoy responsibly with good company—whether it’s your closest friends or the in-laws. Salud!
