Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
RUM – You can use whichever dark rum you prefer for this cocktail. Coconut rum can be used to mix with the coconut slushie to highlight the flavor even more.
COCONUT – Ensure coconut cream is used, not coconut milk. Coconut cream is much thicker and richer and has less water content than coconut milk, which will give you a smoother and creamier texture for the slushie.
FRUIT – We’re using strawberry, peach, and mango in this drink. Other fruits can be used as a replacement or substituted for one another if desired. Kiwi, passionfruit, dragon fruit, and especially pineapple are great options.

That will change the texture (as mentioned in the recipe) of the drink. It will not be as thick.
