Ponche Crema

Ponche Crema is a type of eggnog popular throughout the Caribbean. It is delicious served over ice as a creamy summer cocktail. This is my family’s recipe, which uses coconut milk and resembles Coquito. I suspect my father learned to make Ponche Crema in this way in the Spanish islands during his time as a traveling gold jewelry salesman throughout the Caribbean. For the more traditional Trinidadian version, omit the cream of coconut.
