Last time I made Painkillers, I used Toroni coconut syrup, only because it has a resealable lid and keeps well. I didn't want to open a 15 ounce can of Coco Lopez and throw out 13 ounces of it. But I was feeling rich today so I opened up a can. I want enough to taste the coconut, but don't want it sickeningly sweet. Does anyone add a little lime juice to help cut the sweetness? I wonder if you could use part Coco Lopez and part coconut cream to still get coconut flavor without so much sugar?
