Vegan Coquito
For me, the holidays aren’t complete without a festive glass of my creamy, spiced Vegan Coquito. This traditional Puerto Rican Christmas drink is the perfect way to bring those cozy island vibes to the table. The best part? It only takes 2 minutes of prep time and is naturally gluten-free too!
Servings: 10
Calories: 323kcal
Ingredients
- 11oz can coconut condensed milk
- 14oz can coconut cream
- 1 cup unsweetened oatmilk
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup white rum
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, except the rum, into a food processor and blend for 1 minute.
- Remove and store in an airtight container for 3-4 hours in the fridge to allow it to chill completely and for the flavors to infuse.
- Stir in the rum when ready to serve.
- Serve cold in a glass topped with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- I add the rum just before serving. I learned this the hard way one year when I added the rum too early, and by the time we were ready to enjoy it, the drink had separated! Now, I always wait until the last minute to stir in the rum, and it keeps the Coquito smooth, creamy, and party-ready every single time.
- I always let my Vegan Coquito chill in the fridge for a few hours to thicken up nicely. If it’s too thick for your liking, just add a little oat milk and give it a stir.
- Any rum works here: white, dark, or coconut rum for an extra burst of flavor. Pick your favorite and make it your own.
- I adjust the amount of rum based on how strong I want my drink to be, add more for a punch or less for a lighter sip.
- If you like it sweeter, I recommend adding a touch of maple syrup, agave nectar, or coconut sugar, it’s so easy to customize!
