I started with Angela's recipe on oh she glows. After the coconut milk had cooked down and the whiskey had been added, I had 33 oz total liquid, of which only 6 oz were whiskey. Thus, the overall alcohol content was about 7% alcohol.

Even though I had used all light coconut milk, the resultant product was very thick--and it only got thicker as it sat in the fridge. But it was a bit too rich and not quite boozy enough. So, we added a few more ounces of whiskey, and also some kahlua. And now, it's perfect!

Oh! and, now I know how to make sweetened condensed milk, so... Thai iced tea, you're next!
