I love pineapple juice but in a cocktail it often means <em>sugary</em>!<br /> <br /> In this case there is much alcohol in the mix and notice it's coconut <strong>water</strong> not milk which keeps this whole drink fruity but not too sweet. Still it won't be to everyone's taste. <br /> <br /> And, khus may be available on the Eastside but on Friday afternoon I was <strong>NOT </strong>making at trip across the bridge and back! :-o I know you get that! I might have kept searching if anyone had even seemed familiar with the syrup. It may be that it's more popular in certain regions and I'd need to find someone who came from that particular region or something. <br /> <br /> It's so easy to order online - I may do that just for curiosity's sake! <br /> ~ B Hi Larry!

In this case there is much alcohol in the mix and notice it’s coconut water not milk which keeps this whole drink fruity but not too sweet. Still it won’t be to everyone’s taste.
