I’ve been a bit confused with the variety of recipes for this cocktail, so I tried combining several of them into this:
30 ml of Smith & Cross
15 ml of Wray & Nephew
15 ml of Goslings 151
30 ml of Malibu
20 ml of my homemade Kahlua imitation
20 ml of lime juice
90 ml of pineapple juice
I’ve never tried this one before, so have no idea how this is supposed to taste, but I liked it.
However, next time I’d use 30 to 40 ml of overall rum and add some coconut cream.

I love this cocktail. I skip the coconut rum/liqueur and instead use 2 oz (60 ml) of dark rum and 1/4 oz (7.5 ml) of cream of coconut (Réal or Coco Lopez). My recipe also calls for 3/4 oz (22.5 ml) coffee liqueur -- I like it with more of that coffee flavor!

No orange juice?

I believe I had this recipe from you:

¾ shot Pusser's Navy rum
¾ shot Bacardi 8 Year Old Rum
1 shot Malibu coconut rum liqueur
1¾ shot Freshly squeezed orange juice
2½ shot Fresh pressed pineapple juice
3 dash Angostura Bitters

I love this cocktail. This one time I added a splash of banana liqueur and it turned out amazing!

This was very good. Used our homemade coconut rum along with Jamaican 151 and regular rum. Just sweet enough to be kind of tiki.

Made (for my wife) with Wray & Nephew, Dos Maderas 5+5, Sugar Island Coconut, and Copa de Oro. She thoroughly enjoyed it.

This has turned into possibly the drink I make the most (again, for my wife) from Difford's Guide. She's also now had it with Smith and Cross/Plantation Dark, and with Brugal 1888/Plantation OFTD, and raves about it every time.

This is great, I used kahlua and I don't know if thats okay, but it was great.

If it was great, then that was okay!
I used Kahlua in my first ones, too, but I've since discovered Flor de Caña Spresso. Oh my! Rum-based and oh so tasty.

Can anyone explain the difference between "coconut rum" and "coconut liqueur?" Even the pictures both say "rum with coconut flavor"

Hi Daniel, the difference is in the amount of sugar. Most coconut rums have sugar but to be a coconut liqueur the sugar content must be at least 100 grams per litre and most are at least twice that.
