If you like Coconut like I do you must have Coquito on hand all year.  I know – it’s a Holiday thing in Puerto Rico but I fell in love with the first taste and refused to give it up.  It may small but it’s rich and flavorful, the perfect after dinner treat. IMG_7742 I was introduced Coquito a few years ago and it is amazing.  When Sunday Supper announced a Coconut theme for National Pina Colada Day I kew instantly what my contribution would be.IMG_7741Coquito is the tropical version of Eggnog.  I’ve happily done away with the eggs – I guarantee you won’t miss them.  This is not limited to the holidays in our home. I have to warn you it’s a bit addictive.   If you crave coconut this is something you can whip up, store in the freezer and have an instant fix.IMG_7738

Offer a glass of this for dessert – that is all you will need.  If you want to get really decadent pour this over a warm brownie topped with ice cream.  Remember this is not for the faint of heart – there’s rum in here….IMG_7729
