Chilean Coffee Eggnog (Cola de Mono)

December 18, 2017 by Pilar Hernandez 4 Comments

Versión en español

Chilean Coffee EggnogWith December started, is time to start the Holiday recipes.
We start with a very traditional drink in Chile: Chilean Coffee Eggnog or Cola de mono, literally monkey’s tail, is almost the same as Eggnog, but with the addition of coffee. This version has very little liquor as I like, you can always add more to taste.
We tested it with bourbon, rum, tequila and vodka for those who can not get Pisco. The closest thing is with vodka. Here in Houston, Spec and most liquor stores carry Pisco.

    Excellent! Delicioso el sabor, solo que yo le agregue huevos porque me gusta el cuerpo que dan los huevos al cola de Mono.
