Is the generally accepted painkiller ratio 4:1:1 and then dark rum to suit?

I use:
1 part Coco Lopez
2 parts Orange Juice
4 parts pineapple Juice

To 6 Oz of the mix, add 1,2,3, or 4 Oz of Pussers Rum, depending on the amount of pain you wish to kill.

Pour over ice.

Grate fresh nutmeg on top. (Never store-bought powdered).

I'm not a Pusser's Rum fan so I use Appleton's. Any good dark rum would work, though. I use the same proportion of 'other' ingredients Twanger mentioned above.

And oh yes, fresh grated Nutmeg is required.

Every time I may painkillers, the can of Coco Loco cream of coconut is congealed and separated into liquids and solids. I try to mix them together but can never get the lumps out. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Plop the whole unopened can into a pot or sink with hot water. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. Shake the can well while it is warm before you open it.

Other ways to solve this involve blenders ( counter top or stick-immersion) or food processors. Yep, they are effective, too.

Bartenders have been frustrated with this stuff for years. I personally think it is part of the reason we have more coconut-flavored rums and liquers than ever before.

Yes, whisk the cream of coconut FIRST ( getting out the lumps)before you then add it - slowly whilst again whisking/stirring into the pineapple and orange juices. Then make sure the mix is in a container that you can seal and shake shake shake each time before pouring into glass with only PUSSERS (kidding...any good dark rum will do really).

Heat is the key! I get the coco loco pretty warm and then it mixes right in

The hot water bath approach is effective as well as "gently" [low power] microwaving in an appropriate container.

We set our cans of Coco Lopez on the cabin top of the boat for a bit first. Warms it right up!

Also: I'm a 1 part OJ guy...

Not meaning to be heretical but has anyone tried this stuff? Lots easier to use than Coco Lopez, does not require refrigeration and just requires a little shake to insure it is mixed. I can't tell the difference in a painkiller.

I have used it but don't like it, not as sweet.

It is much easier to use and caribbean cellars stocks it.

It works but I find it waxy. Nothing like Coco Lopez.

I find CocoReal to be a fantastic replacement for Lopez. I think the taste is quite good and no sticky mess or separation to contend with. We take several bottles down on every trip. It also comes in a multitude of flavors (Mango Puree, Guava, Passion...etc) Many cocktail options from there.

We have virtually tried every different kind of coconut cream, and this is by far and away the best. It will somewhat solidify as well, but any little bit of heat will cure that, i.e., water bath, direct sunlight, etc.
