- I feel a little bit,
they're definitely stronger.

(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- Are you ready to lose? - Are you ready to lose?
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- When have you ever made coquito with a stove?
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- I wanna make it this way (Ivan speaking foreign language)
This is my way.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- You need to have like the measurements
'cause you need to make it right.
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
- A real Puerto Rican uses their eye.
Their eye, son.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
Today I'm using Brugal,
we have Hennessy White.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
Both of these, you cannot buy in
the United States of America.
They came directly from the Dominican Republic.
- Then you're not making coquito.
I'm gonna make a very classic coquito.
I'm gonna start with evaporated milk.
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
This is condensed milk.
- We got cinnamon, then cinnamon powder, nutmeg,
they gonna love this.
- Oh yeah.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- Yeah, look at your notes, bro.
I don't need no notes.
You know what I'm saying? - You think you're
making me feel bad.
- Now put the evaporated milk in there too.
This is heating up.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- This is the important thing you need for coquito,
DonQ, this is what real Puerto Ricans use.
- So I brought a superior rum.
You got to feel the alcohol.
- Amaretto.
Mm, smells like licorice or like cherry.
Then I put about two ounces of this.
Wow.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
One can.
- You do what you gotta do.
You gotta grab the rum,
you gotta pour it in here.
- So you know what you gonna do,
you gotta add the rum and you gotta pour it in here.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
Don't say, you add a little bit of the Ameretto.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- I put in one and a half
of Henny White.
Make sure it gets the coconut, the water in there.
- [Ivan] I'm adding a little bit of cinnamon.
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
- I wanna put a little bit like coconut, leche de coco.
I think this should be good.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
Before I go to bed,
I gotta do one thing.
- Please check this out.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
- The editor's not gonna know the difference.
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
This is gonna be strong.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- [Both] And now, we blend.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- It makes you think it doesn't have,
(speaks in foreign language) woo!
- I think I'm feeling it a little bit.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
- Then we're not gonna have enough to try.
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
- Oh wow, it's good.
I really taste the Ameretto.
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
- Ooh, wow.
I can taste the alcohol there, yeah.
You can't taste the eggs.
I'm surprised. - This is the best thing ever.
Why-- - You can't really
(beep) this up.
Just,
(Gadiel laughing)
- This is delicious.
- Woo!
- All right, y'all.
Let's call everybody in,
let's see who made the best coquito,
according to them.
- Wow.
(Alexis speaking foreign language)
You can tell there's a difference in color.
This one's a little bit darker,
this one's a little bit lighter.
All right I'm gonna start with one.
Mm, I'm gonna taste it.
(Alexis speaking foreign language)
I can taste the cream of coconut in there,
I could get,
I can get drunk on that one.
Nice job, number one.
Also smells amazing.
Wow, that's really good too.
They're both so good.
This one is a little darker.
It's a little bit, like thicker.
It's a really hard choice.
I would drink the hell out of both of these.
I feel a little bit,
they're definitely stronger (laughs).
For me, this one tastes a little bit more like traditional.
I'm gonna go with number one.
But they're both (beep) awesome.
(Alexis speaking foreign language)
(Carolina speaking foreign language)
- It's okay.
(Carolina speaking foreign language)
- I know everyone's wondering,
"Did Eli drink coquito before?"
Yes, I've had coquito.
I grew up with coquito, it's delicious.
My Titi, during the holidays,
she would make a boozy one
and then a non-boozy one for the kids.
I'm excited to try this from these guys.
I'm assuming it's not gonna taste good.
I've had their food before,
and it usually tastes like ass.
So visually, they look the same.
Both look nice and thick.
Generally smell the same, okay.
Cinnamon stick in there too?
So fancy, wow.
This is like when I drank it as a kid. The taste is there,
but it's missing that ooh.
"Oh man, I might fight my dad."
I don't know, you're missing that little boozy kick.
Yeah, yeah.
It's creamy, it tastes good.
This one you're gonna get angry and start throwing
stuff at the end of the night. Yeah this is that good stuff.
I'm not mad at either, they're both good.
But I'm gonna have to go with number two.
(Gadiel cheering)
Oh, I should've known.
He's not even Puerto Rican.
- Because you are just,
this is not about getting (beep) up.
You need to taste the coquito.
You can't just taste the alcohol.
- No, no, it's the liquor, man.
- You lost, you lost. - [Ivan] No I already won.
- He's still not official.
(Ivan speaking foreign language)
He never will be.
- I'm gonna go back to Puerto Rico, (mumbles) y'all.
- [Eli] No.
(Gadiel speaking foreign language)
- [Eli] All right.
- I said that I didn't want you to come in
because I knew you were gonna pick Gadiel's.
- Oh, got you, got you.
- Because you don't care about the taste of coquito,
you just wanna get fucked up too.
- Apparently no one cares.
- You can come to the party,
you can come to the party,
and bring your coquito.
- [Child] Pero Like.
