  • 2 oz light rum
  • 1 oz coconut rum
  • 1 oz chocolate liqueur
  • 1 oz cream of coconut
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz milk whole milk or coconut milk
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • chocolate syrup for drizzling

  • dark chocolate small piece, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Add ice cubes to the blender, then pour in light rum, coconut rum, chocolate liqueur, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and milk.

Notes

For a thicker texture and richer sweetness, stick with cream of coconut. To lighten, reduce the chocolate liqueur slightly or swap milk for coconut milk beverage. Chill the glass before pouring and adjust thickness with a splash more milk (thinner) or a handful of ice (thicker). A dusting of cocoa or cinnamon on top smells amazing.
Tasting notes: silky body with upfront chocolate, creamy coconut mid-palate, and gentle rum warmth; refreshing yet dessert-like.
