Coco Lopez - how do you deal with it? - Tiki Drinks and Food

Coco Real does have a lot of convenience on its side, but I generally prefer the flavor of Coco Lopez. When I travel and want a Painkiller, Coco Real works fine. At home, I open the Coco Lopez can, dump it into the mixing cup for my spindle blender, and then hit it with an immersion blender instead of that spindle blender. It makes really short work of blending the mixture back into a usable format. I then pour it into an empty rum bottle for storage in the fridge and frankly, it makes it easier to dose out. It tends to stay mixed and not separate in the refrigerated bottle and you just need to either bring it out to room temperature a bit before you need it, or run the bottle under hot water for a few seconds to loosen it in the bottle. So there's another option to consider. Thanks, kevin
