Notes
- Blender size: If your blender isn't large enough to hold all the ingredients, blend the coquito in two batches and combine them in a large pitcher.
- Storage: Store in clean, airtight bottles or jars in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before serving, as the ingredients may naturally separate.
- Rum: I use 2½ cups of light rum because that's how I like my coquito, but you can adjust the amount to your taste. If you prefer a milder drink, start with less rum and gradually add more until you reach your desired flavor. I recommend using light rum rather than dark rum for this recipe.
- Serving: Serve chilled in small glasses, with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
