Using Creme of Coconut (1:1 sugar to coconut milk), this was a delicious drink. Well balanced with some funk from the dark rum and orgeat, but without the heavy marzipan some orgeat drinks can get. A great staple.
I don't have the referenced book, but every mention I see of the cocktail in the book says that it used cream of coconut (Coco Lopez) in particular. I am curating the recipe to reflect that since coconut cream is a different beast (unsweetened). If someone has the book and confirm or correct me, please do.
