Three Citrus Ponche De Creme Trinidadian Coquito Recipes

COQUITO

Steps:

• Pour the cream of coconut, condensed milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk, cinnamon, vanilla and rum into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Before serving, shake well in a large shaker or sealed container. Pour into glasses and garnish with cinnamon sticks and more ground cinnamon.

COQUITO

Steps:

• In a large blender combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a pitcher and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Serve chilled.

PONCHE CREME

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs and lime zest in a large bowl until well combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the condensed milk and half of the rum and whisk until combined. Whisk in the remaining rum, the nutmeg and bitters until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and transfer to a jug. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days-it gets better with time.
• Stir the mixture well before serving. Pour into ice-filled glasses and sprinkle with grated nutmeg.

COQUITO

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and adjust taste with more of whichever liquid you want. The cream and eggs will add richness and of course, more alcohol means a heavier punch. Store liquid in a large glass soda bottle with a pop-off cap, one in which you can re-cap and lock.
