Super-solid. It's got rich, complex flavor. Used Bushmills Irish whisky instead of Japanese whisky and luxardo cherries.

Since it's a Painkiller riff, I'm assuming Coco Lopez sort of sweet since it's the only real sugar source to balance it all.

Shawn C commented on 3/01/2024:

Thanks. From what I can tell, "coconut cream" has far too often been used interchangeably with cream of coconut. Smuggler's Cove's "coconut cream" recipe has probably contributed a lot to the confusion. Ironically, the SC recipe is not nearly as rich in coconut fat as a coconut cream would be, or even Coco Lopez or Coco Real cream of coconut.
