From Wenlin Dictionaries
"coconut milk" is ambiguous and usually refers to something different from 椰子汁. Here is the Merriam-Webster definition:
1 : a thick, white, milky liquid extracted from grated coconut after it has been soaked in boiling water
2 : coconut water
I think the first sense is easily the more common usage of 'coconut milk". However, 椰子汁 refers to the 2nd sense (coconut water). Some evidence:
1) 椰子汁为棕榈科植物椰树的果实椰果的抽取汁液。汁清如水，且相当清甜、晶莹透亮，清凉解渴。 http://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%A4%B0%E5%AD%90%E6%B1%81
2) The following pic is captioned 椰汁: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A4%B0#/media/File:Kokosnussdrink.jpg Richwarm (talk) 23:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
