What Coconut Cream Is for Cocktails?

Updated June 2026.

Coconut cream for cocktails is mixer English, not a spirit class and not IBA. IBA Piña Colada already 50/30/50. Count the cream as mixer, not as rum.

Syrup: grenadine vs simple syrup. Rosemary: what is rosemary simple syrup. Rum: 2-ingredient rum drinks. Pineapple: cocktails with rum and pineapple. Mix: what to mix with pineapple rum. Coquito: how long does coquito last. Cream: RumChata vs Baileys. Scooby: what is a Scooby Snack shot. Jigger: what is a jigger measurement. Shot: how many ml is a shot.

Piña Colada 50/30/50 vs recovered five

IBA Piña Colada already 50 mL white rum / 30 mL coconut cream / 50 mL pineapple. That is rum, not a cream-of-coconut ranking. 5.147 already: rum ≥40% 5.150 already: cordial sugar ≥2.5% Mixer English is not a TTB class.

Recovered 5-best ranking Recovered Coco López as #1 Recovered Thai Kitchen / Coco Real / RumChata Coconut Cream / Bacardi Coquito twins Recovered $10 / $35 / $25 tickets Baileys US already 17% EW Egg Nog already VA ABC 15.0/30.0 USDA homemade eggnog / coquito already 2–4 days Grand Marnier is not cognac. 5.147

Lock What it is not
Piña Colada 50/30/50 A recovered 5-way cream crown
Mixer English A TTB class

Baileys US 17% unused A RumChata lock

Count the pour

IBA Piña Colada table, not a cream ranking:

Part mL fl oz
White rum 50 1.7
Coconut cream 30 1.0
Pineapple juice 50 1.7

50 mL of 40% rum is about 1.11 US drinks. Cream does not erase the ethanol. A 1.5 fl oz 40% pour is one drink. A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 × 1.5 oz pours.
