*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 drink. Actual calories will vary.*For more information, tips, and answers to frequently asked questions, please refer to the post.*Adjust the amount of cream of coconut based on the amount of coconut flavor and sweetness you'd like. Cream of coconut tones down the other flavors in the drink slightly so they aren't as potent.
