Great alternative tequila cocktail. Did find it a bit on the sweet side for us, so we added a few drops of Difford's Margarita Bitters and it was much better.

Really very good. You can add more Creme de Cacoa to Punch up the chocolate. ?

I would just add some chocolate bitters if that's you're goal
