Notes
Note 1: Ensure the pineapple juice is 100% pure and not diluted with water.Note 2: Coco Real Cream of Coconut is recommended for its flavor and ease of use. Don't mix up cream of coconut (sweetened and thick) with coconut cream (thicker and unsweetened). Available in most grocery stores, typically in the cocktail mixers or international foods aisle.Note 3: A pinch of salt may seem unusual in a sweet drink but it enhances the flavors and adds balance.
