Coquito, also known as Puerto Rican eggnog, is a delicious coconut and rum based drink flavoured with nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Just like with all traditional recipes, you will find several variations of Coquito. Some recipes include raw egg yolks, while others use egg yolks cooked with coconut milk into a thin custard-like base. To make this festive drink low-carb & paleo, I used my keto condensed milk instead of sugary condensed milk.

Tips and Substitutions

Recipes with coconut milk may thicken when refrigerated. To make the coquito liquid again, let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes and then shake vigorously for a few seconds. Alternatively, place the jar in a bowl filled with warm water for 30-60 seconds, then shake and serve.

Alcohol is not 100% keto or paleo but you can drink it occasionally. However, you should avoid drinking alcohol if you want to lose weight. Even if there is no sugar, your body can't store alcohol as fat - it has to metabolise it. This means that your body will utilise alcohol instead of body fat which will slow down weight loss. To make this drink alcohol-free, try substituting the rum with an equal amount of cold coconut water or almond milk.

Martina Slajerova Creator of KetoDietApp.com I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food. More posts by Martina Slajerova Martina Slajerova
