Very happy the chocolate was in the background. Seemed to blend perfectly.

Nope this one just doesn't do it for me - the chocolate is drowned out by the tequila and Lime and ends up just wrong.
But we are all different so maybe your take will be different

I thought about adding chocolate bitters but I really don’t think they’re needed. Exquisite.
