Fall is here!! So it's time to make Coquito - this spiced coconut-based drink and flavorful and great hot or cold.
Components:
Blender to mix ingredients - the cream of coconut and condensed milk
Containers for storage:
- airtight containers - sterilize before use
- pick a container size that gives you a cup or 2 per container so you can enjoy some without opening up all of your coquito
- I love the 16oz seal top beer bottles for this! I was able to fill 3.5 with the recipe below.

I like to make mine at least a month before I want to enjoy it. I store it in the back of my fridge in airtight bottles for safe keeping. The spices get a chance to settle in infuse over a few weeks, this makes such a difference in the flavor!
