For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the ground cinnamon in a dry pan for a minute before adding it to the mixture. Adjust the amount of rum to your preference. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum altogether or substitute with rum extract. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut cream. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for an elegant touch. Coquito can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
