For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with an equal amount of coconut cream or pineapple juice. If you prefer a thicker Coquito, add a can of cream of coconut (Coco Lopez) to the mixture. Adjust the amount of rum to your personal preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Ensure all ingredients are well-chilled before blending for the best texture. Coquito can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
