Instant Pot Coquito is one incredible holiday drink recipe you will want to make for all your holiday entertaining. Creamy, rich, and a boozy eggnog cocktail that is loaded with flavor and a kick. Purto Rican Coquito is a must-make recipe this year. 
I use my Instant Pot as the double boiler in this Coquito recipe. I have found it to be my go-to method when it comes to needing a double boiler. It is so easy, and I can have it anywhere in my kitchen, which is close to a plugin.
Instant Pot Coquito
You can whisk up the base to this Coquito in your Instant Pot and once you remove it toss in your alcohol and vanilla and chill in the fridge. Or if you can’t wait then pour some straight in a glass and sip it warm.
What Alcohol Is Used In Coquito
You will want to buy rum for this recipe. That is the alcohol that is used in Coquito. Now, there maybe be other alcohols you could swap and try if you are not a big rum fan.
What’s The Difference Between Coquito and Eggnog
So you will find that eggnog is a milk-based drink that is made with eggs, sugar, and milk, you can add in alcohol or make it non-alcoholic. Coquito is a Puerto Rican Eggnog that is made with coconut and rum. It is an adult alcoholic holiday drink you will love sipping on this winter.
How Long Before Coquito Goes Bad
Because this is a homemade version you will find it won’t have as long as a shelf life as buying it in-store. You can keep this for around a month in your fridge. Depending on ingredients will affect the shelf life. So keep that in mind if you change up the recipe at all.
Can I Make This Coquito Non-Alcoholic
If you have kids who want to sip on some as well, you can replace the rum with coconut milk or even whole milk. Either will work and you will still get all the rich and creamy flavors in this drink.
Or if you are not wanting a super-strong drink, simply replace part of the alcohol with milk. Whether that be coconut milk or regular milk. Then create a drink that fits your tastebud needs.
If you want to serve this up and want to have strengths then wait to pour the rum in until you serve by the glassful. That way everyone can enjoy their strength of the drink.

40 years ago I was in Costa Rica. There was a small little out of the way place that sold food.but they also sold what they said was “eggnog”. They made it in the back room (part of the allurement)and put in what ever bottle/jar they had. I wonder if this was the same as your COQUITO. It was very tasty smooth and not real strong.
Would an immersion blender work instead of pouring into an actual blender? One less thing to wash. Lol
Yes, that should work fine.☺️
