1

Dilute the dulce de leche with the evaporated milk. You can do this by heating the milk for 2 minutes in the microwave, or if you prefer on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally so that you don’t form a layer of curd on the surface.
2

Let cool to room temperature before mixing with the remaining ingredients.
3

Using a blender, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, cinnamon, ginger, evaporated milk and rum.
4

Bottle your coquito or pour it into a pitcher. If you plan on drinking it the same day, let cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Expert Tips

You can substitute ginger for nutmeg. You can also use caramel instead of dulce de leche. If you do, there's no need to dilute it.
