Glad you guys will be trying it. Coquito is especially good during the cold season, but every once in a while I'll make myself a nice chilled batch, and serve myself an ice cold cup during warmer days.
EDIT: I made a new version, my own concoction and think I have mastered it. I think it tastes much richer then my mother's version.
All you need: Coconut cream (coco lopez), sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, cinnamon, bit of nutmeg, 6 eggs, half a glass of water, and ice.
Throw egg yokes into a pot, followed by the milks, and then coconut cream, mix it all very good and put in the cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by another mixing. Then heat it all up, mix it the entire time, make sure its on low heat so you dont burn it. With a funnel put it in an empty wine bottle (cleaned out).
This is by far the best version in my opinion, and I didn't use too many measurements. 1 of each can, and I smacked the bottles of nutmeg and cinnamon against the pot and let a little bit of each go in.
