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.

I did it using some additional Creme de Cacao and a dark rum and I honestly found the drink to be really wonderful, even if maybe not as dry. It's probably down to the 30ml lime juice.
