COQUITO

Steps:

• Pour the cream of coconut, condensed milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk, cinnamon, vanilla and rum into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Before serving, shake well in a large shaker or sealed container. Pour into glasses and garnish with cinnamon sticks and more ground cinnamon.

ENSALADA DE NOCHE BUENA

• In a bowl mix the beets, oranges, jicamas, bananas, and pineapple together. In another bowl mix the sugar and vinegar. Toss the fruit with the sugar dressing, then chill throughly.
• Line 6 salad plates with the lettuce, fill the center of each with the fruit, and garnish with peanuts, pomegranates and sugar cane.

THREE CITRUS PONCHE DE CREME (TRINIDADIAN COQUITO)

Steps:

• Combine the evaporated and condensed milks, lemon curd, rum, lime juice and bitters in a blender and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Using a funnel, pour into two 33 1/2-ounce bottles and cap tightly. This punch does not need to be refrigerated, but it is best served cold.

ENSALADA DE NARANJA E AGUACATE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, pepper, and salt. Drizzle in the olive oil in a slow, thin stream, whisking all the time until the dressing is emulsified.
• Peel the avocados and cut them into segments approximately the same size as the oranges. Combine the avocados and oranges in a bowl and toss them gently with just enough dressing to coat. Mound some of the salad on each plate and scatter some mint leaves over the top. Serve immediately.

COQUITO

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and adjust taste with more of whichever liquid you want. The cream and eggs will add richness and of course, more alcohol means a heavier punch. Store liquid in a large glass soda bottle with a pop-off cap, one in which you can re-cap and lock.
