heat be damned!, just blend till frothy and put it in a magarine container an then in the fridge.with heat you lose moisture and taste.

Alnshely,
How much is a can of that coconut snow? I've been looking all over Orlando for that stuff with no luck. Haven't found anyplace to buy it online, either.
Re: Coco Lopez -- it makes the best coconauts. No need to heat it or put it in the blender -- just pour it in a plastic container and stir it up -- the chunks dissolve quickly!
Of all the drinks in the Grog Log and Intoxica that I have made for friends, the Coconaut seems to be the most popular.

Agreed. So many good drinks, but for introducing people to tropical drinks, that seems to work well. Slushy and sweet and GOOOD. I mixed up a few pitchers full at Melintur and Tikimama's shindig this memorial day... they were very popular. I can't wait to try a flaming re-entry!
