The Below Decks, what rum did you use in that? I made one recently for the first time using Koloa spiced (as per 5 Min of Rum suggestion) which is unlike any spiced rum I've ever tasted. I imagine using anything besides that would be an entirely different cocktail than what I had. Curious which you used and how it was.

Last night I had some friends over and I made them Luau Coconuts. Third time this week making those with different rum combos. The first time I went by the bums suggestion of Virgin Islands rum but found it to be way too mild of drink. None of the other flavors besides coconut came out to play. So I tried it again with Flor de Cana the next night as I've found most everything I've ever made with Cruzan is better when using Flor de Cana in it's place. That gave it more depth. Then last night I did Flor de Cana gold with Plantation white and that pretty much nailed it. Much more interesting drink which I now prefer over the Mai Kai's Moonkist Coconut. This may be my new go to for when I have company. Forgot to take pics which is a shame cuz I actually put effort into garnish :(
