A spicy orange Daquiri with coffee and chocolate. Like most Daiquiris, this cocktail benefits from dilution so, depending on your ice, consider adding a splash of chilled water.

Hi.
So how would I go about replacing/ replicating the cacao & coffee spiced rum if I have chocolate liqueur, coffee liqueur and spiced rum?
(Love the site BTW)

Thanks for your kind words. The cacao and coffee spiced rum is much drier than other spiced rums and has a bittersweetness. I don't think you'll be able to replicate the favour using liqueurs as you'll be adding sweetness as well as flavour.
