Ingredients
- 2 12-ounce cans evaporated milk
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup cane liquor (aguardiente de caña) or rum, more or less to taste
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter (or espresso, if you want to make it coffee flavored)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice to serve
To Prepare
- Place the cane liquor, evaporated milk, condensed milk, peanut butter and vanilla extract in the blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to a jar, cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- Alternatively, you may also pour directly over ice cubes or add some ice cubes to your blender and make it a Frappé! In any case, serve very cold.
- NOTE: There are different Torito flavors. To make coffee Toritos, substitute peanut butter for a cup of strong coffee and add more sugar to taste. To make fruit Toritos, substitute peanut butter for about 2 cups of guaba or mango (or any fruit of your choice) pulp, and sugar to taste.

Hola Pati!
I wanted to make a non-alcoholic version for my son. Would some coconut milk and pineapple juice be good replacements for the aguardiente de caña?
Also, what did you garnish the rims of the glasses in the picture?
I learned to cook while watching your show on PBS when I was a stay at home dad. Thank you for all of your knowledge and for inviting us into your home.

Absolutely! Coconut milk and fruit juice will be great subs. To rim the glass you can use some sugar with cinnamon 😉
