- 2 (15-oz) cans Cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)

- 3 tsp Ground nutmeg

How to make the Coquito Cocktail
Combine all the ingredients except the rum in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, let cool and stir in the rum. Transfer to bottles (making sure that at least one cinnamon stick goes into each bottle), seal and store in the refrigerator. Serve over ice in rocks glasses and garnish with cinnamon sticks.
Having a hard time finding Unsweetened coconut cream! Would coconut milk do?
Unsweetened coconut milk will give you a similar flavor, but it’s not as thick as unsweetened coconut cream, so the final product won’t be quite as rich in texture.
So I just made this recipe with Captain Morgan…I must Say, ITS TO DIE FOR!!!
