Saturday's cocktail: Monkey's Cola according to Bar Liguria

A typical Chilean treat. The perfect partner for pan de pascua at Christmas and New Year's dinners. The one that spreads smiles at end-of-year work parties, but in some bars, it's served year-round.

Preparation for 4 liters.

Ingredients

  • 3 liters of milk.
  • 1 bottle of 40º brandy.
  • 1 cinnamon stick.
  • 5 cloves.
  • 1 jar of condensed milk.
  • 500 g of sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon of ground nutmeg.
  • 2 tablespoons of instant coffee powder.

Elaboration

  • Boil the milk in a large pot, taking care that it does not boil over or steam.
  • When it is boiling, add the condensed milk, coffee and the sugar dissolved with the flavorings.
  • Turn off the heat and mix well. Let it cool and remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
  • Add the liquor, stir, store in bottles (it's about 4 liters of cola de mono, for the family) and refrigerate if possible until the next day, so that it is very cold.
  • Serve with a piece of Christmas bread during the end-of-year holidays.
