I can't really say without having tasted one in a while (sniff!), but I don't recall any coconut flavor. Pineapple is likely, and I think perhaps orgeat? That might be the vanilla-ish flavor you're getting. Some lime juice wouldn't surprise me. God, I've watched them both make them a thousand times, but my only thought at that moment is a combination of "GIMME!" and "THANK YOU!" Weirduncletiki's thoughts would be great to hear -- I know he's taken tasting notes on the Ray's Mistake. So without Gin it's a "Mike's Mistake"?
