Notes
Note
- Learn How to make fresh homemade Coconut milk.
- If using coconut cream, use 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice, if using 'cream of coconut', use 2 cups pineapple juice.
- The sugar can be skipped if you are using store-bought boxed or canned pineapple juice which is already sweetened.
- If you have sugar syrup, you can replace the sugar with it.
- The ice cubes can be omitted in the blender and put in the serving glasses. Blend every other ingredient and pour over the ice.
- Add a few drops of bitters to balance the sweetness of your drink and to give it another level of flavour, eg. lime, Angostura or any available Bitters.
