Recipe - Coquito (Puerto Rico Coconut Eggnog)

13/16 qt Light Puerto Rican Rum; ( I
like Don Q)
Peel from 2 limes; (grated)
6 Egg yolks
1 cn Sweet condensed milk
2 cn (large) evaporated milk
2 cn Coconut cream; (like Coco
Lopez)
6 ounce Gin

mix half of the rum with the lime peel in a blender at high speed for 2
min. Strain and put in large bowl. Add rest of rum. In blender, mix egg
yolks, both milks and gin until well blended. ( I also add the juice of the
2 limes, to cure the egg yolks). Pour Three fourths of this mixture into bowl with
rum. Mix rest with coconut cream and blend well. add to rum mixture, blend
well and refrigerate. (I save the rum bottle and other glass bottles to
pour it in.) I usually make this the day after Thanksgiving or so, and let
it mellow in the refrigerator until midtolate December. It's kind of
strong when fresh. serve cold at parties or after dinner.
