I’m gonna try it but any reason to think an oz of Coco Lopez would hurt this drink or throw off the whole purpose of not using it?

It would become a Coconut & Almond Piña Colada, which sounds tasty. However, the addition of Coco Lopez could make it overly sweet.

If you’ve ever just tasted coconut cream by itself you’d know it’s not even remotely as sweet as something like Simple or even Pinapple juice. So I’m not too worried but if it does over sweeten it I’ll just add straight coconut milk without the Simple Syrup added to it cause that’s all Coconut cream is, a mixture of coconut milk and simple syrup. That way I get the coconut flavor I’m looking for without making it unbearably sweet

Tastes like the "Mai Tai" I had on a cruise. Added 1/2 oz of Smith & Cross to give it a little more dimension.

excellent suggestion

First tried and disliked, tried another time with homemade orgeat (increased to 1/2 oz) and 2 1/4 oz rum (Havana club 3 years) and was very great and enjoyed by everyone.

this one's really good. i bumped the rum up 75%, could definitely tolerate more. reminds me of a sweet tart or other sour candy. too sour for me so ill use less lime next time but thats normal

Try adding just straight coconut milk, about an 3/4 to 1 full ounce. Without all the sweeteners that make it coconut cream or cream of coconut, whatever u wanna call it. It mellows out the sourness and brings back just a touch of that classic piña colada taste.

This one gets my wife's seal of approval - she likes a long fruity drink that's not too strong - pulled the Bacardi back to 1 shot but used 8 yr old to bring up the flavour. Added to her favourites

Oh and a luxardo maraschino cherry because why not???

I went a little off the rails here, but it was still delicious! Used Koloa brand dark rum instead of light, and lemon juice instead of lime. Otherwise the same! More of a almond pina sour than almond pina colada, but still sweet with tiki vibes! Excellent!

Ive told others this and I’m repeating myself but try adding 3/4 to 1 full ounce of coconut milk instead of coconut cream. All coconut cream is, is coconut milk with a ton of simple syrup added. The coconut milk helps cut the sour and give it just a hint of the classic coconut Piña Colada taste

This one went from my Wish List to my Favourites. Wow. A great blend of cocktails. Sort of tiki, but not sweet. Perfect on a warm sunny afternoon. Would be great with grilled food or anything Mexican. Love it.
