Ornament Coquito Cocktail

Why settle for eggnog when you can serve Coquito instead? 🇵🇷🎄🥥✨ This Puerto Rican holiday favorite is packed with festive flavors like coconut, cinnamon, and rum, and it’s perfect for batching ahead.

Being from Puerto Rico myself I make coquito every holiday season but this year I tried a recipe from @TheMoodyFoody and let me tell you it was amazing!!

I elevated this coquito cocktail by serving it in Christmas ornaments and adding a rim of coconut flakes to the glasses🍸🥥 Comment Coquito and I’ll send you a link to the glasses and ornaments I used!

Serve it chilled in these festive ornaments and your guests will be asking for the recipe all night. 🍸 Save this post and let the holiday hosting begin! 🥂

This amazing coquito recipe is from @TheMoodyFoody

For the tea:
1 cup water
8 allspice berries
6 whole cloves
5 Star anise
3 large cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the coquito:
1 can cream of coconut (15 oz)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
1 cup evaporated milk (this is about half the can!)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup white rum (You can add more or less rum to taste)
1/4 cup spiced rum or dark rum
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions:
In a medium saucepan set over medium, boil the water. Add the allspice, cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Steep the tea, strain it and cool it. 

In a high powered blender, add cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Pulse until smooth and fully combined. If using a smaller blender, blend in batches. 

Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup of the tea mixture to the milk mixture. Whisk in the rum, ground cinnamon and nutmeg.

4-6 thyme sprigs

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F. Rub the roast with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with kosher salt and pepper. Sear the roast in a large Dutch oven or in a Hero Pan (like I did) over medium-high heat, sear until brown on all sides. Add the potatoes, carrots, garlic, thyme and beef broth to the pot. Cover and place in the oven. Roast until the meat falls apart and the vegetables are fork tender, about 4 hours.

Serve the pot roast with the vegetables over rice or mashed potatoes.
