   You’re absolutely right about the difference between coconut milk, coconut cream and cream of coconut, but there’s more than one way to make a Piña Colada; different recipes call for different coconut preparations. In fact, our Painkiller Piña Colada uses coconut cream instead of milk: http://liquor.com/liquor/in-defense-of-blender-cocktails/#painkiller

   I think you have a slight typo, as a Piña Colada is typically made with cream of coconut (Coco Lopez being the commonly-available brand), rather than coconut milk. Cheers!

   The wikipedia articles appears to be well-researched:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi%C3%B1a_colada
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_cream

   Cliff notes:
   Coconut milk: thin, unsweetened
   Coconut cream: thick, unsweetened
   Cream of Coconut: thick, sweetened
