Sweet (I didn't find it cloying though), demarara sugar gives a boost to the delicious spice notes from the chocolate and Ango bitters. Cognac is delicious, but definitely in the background - I wonder how a whiskey would work (I think it would do well). Wonderful night cap.

I have really enjoyed a recipe of a cocktail of the same name (as served at Sloppy Joe’s bar in 1935) which is made of equal proportion (3/4oz) of white creme de cacao, cognac, gin and freshly squeezed lime juice. Ref Beachbum Berry’s potions of the Caribbean.

I have added a link to the Sloppy Joe's bar recipe above, which I have just made and added to Difford's Guide thanks to your comment. Many thanks.
