Thanks everybody. Well, we went with the #3 (love that sign by the way!). But there were...issues. I've made drinks with a lot more ingredients but this one was challenging.

The main problem was the Coco Lopez. I opened up the can, purchased a couple of weeks ago from Hi Time Wine, and the stuff at the top was pretty solid so I scooped an ounce of it into the blender with the other ingredients. The Grog Log said to not blend with ice, but everything I read before said TO blend with ice and the painkillers I had in BVI seemed like they were definitely blended with ice, so I went that route.

The blender didn't seem to be able to blend it properly. The flavor was good but I noticed a lot of coconut cream solids stuck to the bottom of my blender, and a little in my glass. Then when I was transferring the Lopez out of the can into another container for refrigeration I realized it was totally separated. There was a solid layer on top, then a large liquid layer, then another solid layer at the bottom.

Should I have mixed it all up first? Should I warm it first? Should I have blended without ice as the Grog Log instructs? Just wondering where I went wrong. The drink tasted good but the consistency just didn't seem right.
