I'm trying to emulate something like Cruzan coconut (can't get it in my country and have never tasted it). We can get Malibu and Koko Kanu, both of which I find overwhelmingly sweet. I'm angling to make a version of the Three Rum Scum, which also calls for Sailor Jerry's (which I'm also not crazy about). For the Jerrys I'm going to make a home version of the SC Spiced Rum from the Smuggler's Cove book. What should i make for the coconut rum? (I'm guessing I'll need a sweetish recipe because I believe the Cruzan rum is on the sweet side (?). There's a recipe for fresh coconut infused rum on the Serious Eats website - http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2012/03/how-to-make-diy-homemade-coconut-rum.html - but that involves no sugar at all which judging by the recipe isn't what's needed.)
