Notes
- Coconut Cream: For extra creaminess, use coconut cream rather than coconut milk. Cream of coconut is also a sweetened option but adjust other sweeteners accordingly.
- Pineapple Options: Fresh pineapple juice offers a bright and natural sweetness, while canned juice provides a richer, consistent flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: If desired, add a small splash of simple syrup to balance tartness or enhance the sweetness.
