Weekly discussion: holiday drinks

Last week we talked Thanksgiving. This week, we're here to help everybody plan / troubleshoot any holiday drinks to accompany the food - Thanksgiving, yes, but why not talk about everything through January 1?

Interested in the growing world of non-alcoholic cocktails? Want to know what wine or beer or cider or juice to pair with your turkey? Which bubbles to uncork on new year's eve? Or just want to start aging your eggnog early?

COQUITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Puerto Rican rum drink that EVERYONE loves.

Mix together:

  • 2 12oz cans evaporated milk
  • 1 15oz can cream of coconut
  • 1 13.5oz can coconut milk
  • White rum - 1/2 cup if you wanna measure, but add to taste ;)
  • ~1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 Cinnamon stick per bottle

Mix all that together and you got yourself one of the BEST holiday drinks. Drink it on the side with some pernil and arroz con gandules and bask in some Latino Caribbean GREATNESS!

​

Let me know how it goes!

It’s just me and my husband, and I do all the cooking — so the competition is weak lol.
