It’s Christmas, and I am full-Christmas spirit! I planned a Latin flair Christmas party for the kids (post coming soon)! For the drinks besides fruit punch, and strawberry lemonade I served coquito for kids.
Coquito is like a Puerto Rican Eggnog and of course, it has liquor in it. It is a creamy coconut-based drink that has rum in it. But for the kids I’ll be making it “sin” which means “without” the liquor!
Coquito is a very popular drink during Christmas time in Puerto Rico. It takes me back to my isla bonita during the most festive time of the year.
To make this kid-friendly version of coquito I used the following ingredients:
1 packet of pure creamed coconut 7 oz. (this has no sugar)
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
2 cans of coconut milk
1/2 cup of sugar*
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Cinnamon sticks
Mix all of the ingredients together and pour in a glass jar. *Since the creamed coconut has no sugar you can actually adjust the sweetness of your coquito. You can use the 1/2 cup or less if you’d like.
Chill, shake and serve.
Will you be making your own coquito for kids?
I have a free printable for you. It’s actually a jpeg file, that you can print in whatever size you may need. I would suggest to save and upload to a Microsoft Word doc, and adjust the size of the image for your label.
Or you can right click on the image below, and save as.
¡Buen provecho and Feliz Navidad!
Spread the love
