For a richer flavor, use a high-quality coconut rum. If you prefer a thicker Coquito, add another half scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Adjust the amount of rum to your preference. Garnish with freshly grated cinnamon or nutmeg just before serving for an extra touch of aroma and flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add a splash of coconut extract to taste.
