Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut

[Medic218]

I was trying out my new blender tonight by making my first batch of pina coladas and using the Coco Lopez cream of cocnut, now here is my question...
Should the product be smooth, like condensed milk or be in a semi-solid state?
The reason I ask is because I had to use a can opener to get to the stuff and then pry it out with a spoon.
Once I got it out it looked like 1/4 of the can was oil and the other 3/4 of the can was like crisco or lard.
After the batch was made the semi-solid part lingered around it itty bitty pieces that can be felt while drinking....yes, like drinking pina colada flavored lard bits. Fantastic huh?
For those of you that have use it is this normal?
I did put it in the fridge but only like 10 min before i got to the drink making, I dont know if that had anything to do with it or not.

Interesting query. I would suggest an extensive testing phase. Preferably with lots of friends!

Yeah, I made way too much for my blender to hold with the ice added for the 1st batch.
For the 2nd batch I'm going to use what I poured off from the first batch and warm it up on the stove a bit to see if I can get rid of the coconut lard.

I've made piña coladas with the Coco Lopez, and yes if you refridgerate it at all it will congeal like that. Next time, submerge the can in warm water in your sink for about 15 minutes, and then shake vigorously before you open it to get it well mixed together. The ones with Coco Lopez taste much better than any of the mixes I've had, and contain less junk.

Coco Lopez is the best mix for Pina Coladas. I started using it while I tended bar, and have never looked back. It has the best flavor & when properly used the best texture. Ensure that you mix it before making the drinks. I always kept mine in a squeeze jar and would shake it before use. You can also stir it before use, but ensure the solid is evenly mixed with the liquids before making the drinks.
