Cream of Coconut

Coco Lopez creme of coconut is the commercial product of choice for many bars around the world but it can be difficult to source in some countries outside the US. Jeff “Beachbum” Berry has stated that Coco Lopez is the best for cocktails.


The DIY recipe listed above avoids all the emulsifiers, stabilizers and growth inhibiting agents for a tastier, fresher and more natural cream of coconut. The shelf life won’t be as long but once you taste a Painkiller made with the DIY version, it won’t last long at all.
