Can anyone tell me the difference between coconut rum, coconut cream liqueur, and coconut liqueur? Is it just the alcohol level or what. I'm losing my mind.

A little boozy, some nice coconut flavours with a very subtle fruitiness coming from the pear.

This drink is very bland. I added 1.5 oz lime and now we have something.
