Tips & Variations
Richer flavor? Use a high-quality dark chocolate liqueur for deeper notes.

Sweetness tweak: Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.

No simple syrup? Swap in a dash of agave nectar or a teaspoon of sugar.

Going zero-proof? Replace the rum with chocolate milk or a non-alcoholic chocolate drink for a delicious mocktail.
