Coquito is a Puerto Rican cocktail traditionally enjoyed at Christmas. Its name translates from Spanish as "little coconut," but once you try it, you'll realize it's anything but small: its captivating, incomparable flavor and aroma literally envelop you. The cocktail contains coconut cream, two types of condensed milk (sweetened and unsweetened), coconut milk, and white rum. The sweet coconut flavor is perfectly complemented by vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A truly festive taste that lifts the spirits. Coquito is served very chilled with an extra pinch of nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.

• 1 can (425 g) coconut cream (for drinks)
