I use Coco Lopez and store it in a glass jar in the fridge. It always gets microwaved a bit to make it mix and flow better, and I store it in the fridge. I have heard others use Coco Real, and they like it, but I stick to the Coco Lopez because everyone stocks it in my neighborhood supermarkets and liquor stores. AVOID the low-cal Coco Lopez as it's way too runny and not at all worth the very small calorie savings in your cocktails. The Painkiller works well with Myers's dark too, although you'll miss out on the subtle aromas and flavors of the Pusser's. You can consider serving it with Myers's to your friends and save the Pusser's for yourself, although Myers's is pretty pricey too, at least here in my part of the country.
