The holy trinity of rum, coconut and pineapple served in a well-balanced, not overly sweet Tiki-style cocktail

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.
