Recipe: Coco Lopez Question - Tiki Drinks and Food

The Painkiller specifically calls for Coco Lopez, but I actually prefer Goya, which is more easily available. Goya seems be a little creamier. All coconut cream, no matter what kind you use has a tendency to be chunky with lumps of coconut, which I find particularly unappetizing. I've figured out this trick. When I make anything with Coco Lopez, usually Painkiller mix, what I do is shake the can well and then pour it into a bowl. I add one of the drink ingredients to the coconut cream (such as a few ounces of lime juice) and then I stir with a whisk until all the coconut chunks are broken up and universally liquid and creamy. dcman
