Notes
Make sure you use cream of coconut NOT coconut cream or coconut milk. It's usually by the cocktail mixers at your local grocery store because it's used in a piña colada and other sweet tropical drinks. Cream of coconut is sweetened and shakes up well in drinks. Coconut cream and coconut milk are not sweetened and neither work a substitution in this drink.
