I tried this out tonight per the original recipe and found it pretty tasty. I started out with only half the lime (as that was your complaint), liked it that way, then added rest of lime, liked it that way too. Nice lime-pinapple-coconut balance. I like this.

I used Cruzan gold (they call it dark, but it's gold) and 1 oz Crusan light with 2 teaspoons coco loco. what surprised me was that the grand marnier added nice balance-- i usually hate it in cocktails bc it doesnt seem to 'play nice with others.'

now, i cheated and used Rose's, so maybe fresh lime makes it too tart per your complaint. Also, maybe your use of dark rums fouled up the cohesion with the grand marnier. One other thing- I cant stand Malibu; for coconut rum recipes I just use light rum and throw in some coco lopez.
