From the Bartender

The IBA specifies cream of coconut (such as Coco López), not coconut cream or coconut milk - the sweetened, thick consistency is essential to the drink's signature richness and balance. For a silkier result, freeze your pineapple juice into cubes before blending instead of using plain crushed ice.
