Use good quality ingredients and this drink is genuinely unbelievably good. I didn't have cacao so I dusted it with Milo. Recommend the sub if you've got Milo

Fantastic cocktail. Perfect after dinner.
Sort of a rum version of a black Russian with ice cream. Smooth and balanced. Would definitely have again.
