13 1/2 oz 2:1 clear syrup
1/4 tsp salt

Open a can of Coco López cream of coconut. Blend contents together. Enjoy an exceptional Piña Colada.
Notes
So what I’ve learned from many experiments with cream of coconut, including trying different recipes, coconut milk brands, and techniques, is that to me, nothing compares to Coco López. The Smuggler’s Cove version—the best homemade cream of coconut—tastes like fragrant coconut syrup. However, the Coco López has the thicker consistency and richer taste of sweetened condensed coconut milk that’s just irreplaceable in mixed drinks.
Tip: to warm up Coco López from the fridge, place the container in a bowl of hot water for a 5-10 minutes.
