Tis’ the Reason Coquito
Created by: Tiffanie Barriere, from Netflix’s “Drink Masters” and “High on the Hog”
Ingredients:
12 Large Eggs
1 lb Sugar
1 tsp Fresh Nutmeg
¼ tsp Salt
14 oz Coconut Cream (try my homemade)
14 oz Condensed Milk
8 oz Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum
8 oz Don Q Gold Rum
2 oz Green Chartreuse
2 oz Rich Vanilla Syrup
Instructions: Crack eggs inside of the bowl and add sugar. Beat eggs with sugar until sugar dissolves. Pour crème slowly while whisking to prevent curdling. Add rum and chartreuse and stir until the liquid turns light brown. Do not cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for no less than 3 hours. In a separate bowl whisk 2 egg whites until whipped into a meringue and set aside and chilled for service. Serve in your favorite glass using a ladle. Garnish with 1 bar spoon of merengue and nutmeg.
Glass: Stemmed glass
Serves: 8-12
