Notes

  • Use crushed ice for a quicker and frostier blend.
  • To reduce calories, you can substitute ½ cup of coconut milk or coconut water for the cream of coconut.
  • I highly recommend you do not make coconut water or coconut milk a full substitute for the coconut cream.
  • Increase the amount of ice to adjust for the level of frostiness you would like in the beverage.
  • Substitute white rum for the tequila.
  • Rim the glass with honey instead of lime juice.
