Husband and I enjoyed this with a version of Buffalo Chicken. on a HOT Summer Day. Used Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut, did not add Simple Syrup as the cream of coconut was plenty sweet. Next time might add a touch more lime juice (but that is just personal preference). Very tasty!
I am really annoyed that this recipe calls for Coconut Puree. Mr. Flay must know that this is not a readily available ingredient. I have called around to every specialty/natural food store in my area and have come up empty handed. I think this is a case of the Celebrity Chef not understanding his (humble fan base or their ability to obtain obscure ingredients. I have made this drink using a substitute of Coco Lopez and coconut milk. It was a delicious drink, perfect for the beach. However I wish I knew what the real drink tastes like.
OMG–this may be my new favorite margarita. Like the previous reviewer, even my gourmet grocer did not carry the frozen coconut puree; so, we substituted “Coco Real” Cream of Coconut that I found on the same shelf as the drink mixers. It worked beautifully, but for the next round I will not add half ounce of simple syrup because of the sweeteners added in this highly-processed product. If you can find the more authentic coconut puree, then you’re probably better off. But, don’t let it’s inaccessibility keep you from trying this drink!
Used coco lopez because I didn’t know what coconut puree was…is it just raw coconut that you puree in the food processor? It was delish! Dipped the rims in dark chocolate!
