In reply to the discussion: christmas eve -- so what are you drinking? [View all]1 can (13-16 oz) Coco Lopez or other cream of coconut. NOT coconut milk.
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
¼ tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 to 1 ½ cup rum I split the difference at 1 ¼ cup. Actually, I use the 1 cup Pyrex measure and fill it to the bottom of the P in Pyrex, which is about 1 ¼ cup. Its plenty strong. White rum is the most common, but I only had dark rum this year and it's great!
Open all the cans, measure everything else and mix. Period. A processor or blender is really required to get all out the lumps and my processor is too small for everything without overflowing; I just blend the canned stuff and stir it into the rum in the final container.
Best stored (in the refrigerator) in a container or containers with a tight cover. It may need to be shaken or whisked if its sat for a while; the fat tends to float to the top and solidify in a thin layer.
