How to make Coquito – the Puerto Rican Eggnog

I love anything with coconut and anything with rum. That’s why I love Caribbean cocktails like the Pina Colada and it’s why I also love the Coquito. Coquito is a Puerto Rican drink that literally means “little coconuts”. This drink is sometimes called the Puerto Rican eggnog because it is a traditional to make it around the holiday season for Christmas or New Years Eve. However this cocktail does not contain any eggs. Join me in an easy recipe to make this fantastic coconut flavored drink.

Ingredients:

1 – 2 cups of rum
13.5 oz can of coconut milk
12 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
12 oz can of evaporated milk
15 oz can of coco lopez
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a blender.
  2. Pour mixed cocktail into a glass bottle with a cinnamon stick and chill out least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Serve and Enjoy!

How to make the Best Silky Smooth Egg Drop Soup

Egg Drop Soup is the simplest Chinese recipe and it is the perfect side dish when you make Chinese food at home. This easy recipe shows you how to make the best silky smooth soup and long strings of egg. This is the perfect soup to add to your next homemade Chinese dinner and your family and friends will think you purchased it from a Chinese restaurant.

Ingredients:

4 cups of chicken broth

1/2 tsp. salt

pinch of white pepper

2 tbsp. corn starch

2 tbsp. water

2 large eggs

1 tsp. sesame oil

chives for garnishment

Directions:

  1. Pour chicken broth into a small pot and heat on medium heat until starting to bubble.
  2. Mix corn starch and water in a small bowl and then pour into the chicken broth, stirring occasionally to prevent the corn starch from clumping.
  3. When the broth starts to boil turn off the heat and let cool until it stops boiling.
  4. Mix eggs in a bowl and pour into the warm chicken broth very slowly while stirring the eggs in. Make sure the broth has been removed from heat. If you pour the eggs in when the broth is boiling the eggs will break up into small balls instead of forming long silky strands.
  5. Add salt, pinch of pepper, and sesame oil and mix together.
  6. Serve and garnish with small cuttings of chopped chives.
  7. Enjoy!
