This is a personal favourite and a regular on my drink list.
Needs a good smooth Anejo to allow the cacaos to come through but one that can still give a bite to the drink. I keep whole nutmegs just for this drink.

Look up the Melon Collie Martini if you enjoy this one.

I'm a lover of this style of cream drink and this was follow on from a Tequila Alexander which I really love. In the Tequila Alexander the Tequila takes the forefront and gives the drink a nice bite.
Here the white rum take more of a back seat and allow the Midori and coconut to step up.
Don't keep this for holidays it can brighten up any night.

Personal variation: dial back to a 1/3 on Coconut liqueur and add a 1/4 to the Rum.

That is quite a hit of rum and most definitely bitter though not sure about the sweet. I really feel, for me, this needs a touch of cane sugar or possibly agave to mellow the flavours.
(Added 5ml of cane sugar and perfect).
