Notes
Store cream of coconut in the refrigerator after opening. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
For a mocktail version, replace coconut rum with coconut water and add a splash of coconut extract.
The drink can be made in larger batches for parties. Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed.
Use unsweetened cranberry juice for a less sweet drink. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less cream of coconut.
