- Blend on high speed for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Chill:
- Pour the Coquito into a large pitcher or airtight container.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill thoroughly.

Notes
- Thickness Adjustment: For a thicker, dessert-like version, add ½ cup coconut cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream when blending.
- Sweetness Control: Reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk if you prefer a less sweet drink.
- Optional Additions: For a boozy version, mix in ½ to 1 cup of rum when blending or stir it in before serving.
