I am always on the lookout for flexible or lightened variations of our favorite drink recipes. Especially a seasonal beverage like eggnog, which is usually such an indulgence. I have been experimenting with nut milks lately as a dairy alternative in drinks. So many of my friends are die-hard dairy free and are always asking for suggestions.

Puerto Rican Coquito – Coconut Eggnog Recipe

It took exactly one search online with the key words ‘eggnog’ and ‘coconut’ for me to discover Coquito, a frothy Puerto Rican Coconut Eggnog recipe very similar to our traditional holiday drink. The authentic recipe has some dairy in it, in the form of sweetened condensed milk. My homemade sweetened condensed almond milk is a great alternative and keeps things dairy free.

To be honest, in the past, I have shied away from drinking eggnog myself. I will happily make it for others, but the idea of sipping on a drink that contains raw eggs doesn’t sit well with me. It’s really cool though when a personal preference like that can turn out to be the motivator behind a new recipe! Sort of like my obsession with aquafaba as an egg white substitute in cocktails.

It was a pleasant surprise to find out that eggs are really subjective in this Coconut Eggnog recipe. I found many with eggs added in and just as many without them. It is a cultural recipe that changes from region to region and from family to family. The foundation of the recipe though is coconut milk and rum, plenty of rum folks! So while my Coquito version doesn’t have eggs, there’s a tip in the recipe card on how to add them if you wish.

      You should be able to find it in your local grocery store, but location is typically different from store to store. Ask a store associate for help! (http://cbi.as/a2vyx)
