Tried both Jeff Berry's Beachbum Berry Remixed and this recipe, but have to say, not my favorite. But drinkable. 7.5ml of Green Chartreuse was enough to make this drink herbal.

It's nice, just really not...exciting or in any way memorable.

I usually swip the Havana with a Dark Rum and the result is stunning!

Solid 4-star recipe. All flavors at surprisingly apparent expression. I'd maybe sub a distinctive Jamaican rum (Doctor Bird?!) for whatever the intended brand is. (5 Feb 2022, 6:07p)

The chocolate blends astonishing good with Chartreuse, a real positive surprise.
