Mr. Bali Hai
After making this, I see why it's served in a ceramic mug normally. It comes out a not super tasty looking brown. Fortunately, it tastes better than it looks.
For my first time making this I used Kahlua for the coffee liqueur (as I expect most people would), Don Q Cristal for the lightly aged/filtered rum, and sort of following the lead of Cocktail Virgin I split Smith and Cross with Mount Gay Eclipse. Based on the original recipe using Myers' I suspect a more accurate approximation would have been Smith and Cross split with Gosling's Black Seal and/or El Dorado 5 Year.
I will likely try this again soon with something similar to above because I would have liked more rum flavor coming through.
