Indulge in the rich and creamy delight of Coconut Eggnog, a unique twist on the classic holiday beverage. This tropical-inspired variation combines the warmth of traditional eggnog with the refreshing flavors of coconut, creating a taste that's both familiar and exciting. Whether you prefer a boozy version or a virgin delight, this article offers two delectable recipes to suit your tastes. The boozy recipe combines coconut cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and your choice of rum or bourbon for an extra kick. For those who prefer a non-alcoholic version, a virgin recipe omits the alcohol and adds coconut milk for an equally creamy and flavorful experience. Both recipes are easy to follow and require minimal ingredients, making them perfect for busy holiday bakers. So, gather your ingredients, embrace the festive spirit, and let's embark on a culinary journey to create the ultimate Coconut Eggnog that will impress your family and friends this holiday season.

COQUITO (PUERTO RICAN COCONUT EGGNOG)
Coquito (pronounced "koh-kee-toh") is often called a "Puerto Rican eggnog" but, to be honest, I think it's much better than eggnog. If you like coconut and cold, frothy drinks spiked heavily with rum, you will like this. You will really, really like this. Some versions of coquito have raw eggs but I leave them out, which makes it better for gift giving and preparing in advance. My recipe is also strong. As in, you can feel it down to your knees after just a sip or two. I like it that way but feel free to cut down on the booze. This rich, sweet and totally decadent drink is meant to be sipped in small glasses. To make it last longer, serve it on the rocks -- the ice dilutes the drink a bit and makes it delightfully chilly.

Steps:
- Combine the three milks with the cream of coconut in a large blender and blend until well combined. Add the rum, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon and blend together. (If your blender is small, do this in batches and pour into a large bowl as you go.)
- Pour the coquito into bottles and drop 1 cinnamon stick and vanilla bean half into each. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.
- Serve straight in small glasses or over ice in larger ones. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick. Leftovers will keep tightly sealed in the refrigerator for about 1 week (shake the bottle vigorously each time before serving; see Cook's Note).

Steps:
- Combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, and coconut cream in a large blender and blend until well combined. Add the rum, vanilla, and ground cinnamon, and blend in. If your blender is small, do this in batches and pour into a large bowl as you go. Pour into a pitcher or glass bottles with sealed lids and drop in the cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean halves. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until very cold. Serve straight in small glasses garnished or on the rocks in larger ones. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick. Leftovers will keep tightly sealed in the refrigerator for about one week, just be sure to shake the jar vigorously each time before serving. To cut the rum and make this beverage less strong, replace the desired amount of rum with equal parts ice cold coconut or whole milk. For a non-alcoholic or virgin coquito, cut out the rum and replace it with one cup ice cold coconut or whole milk and one cup ice cold filtered water.

- Chill the eggnog before serving: Chilling the eggnog helps to enhance the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
- Garnish with whipped cream and grated nutmeg: Whipped cream and grated nutmeg add a festive touch to the eggnog and make it even more delicious.
