For a richer flavor profile, use a high-quality dark rum with notes of caramel and vanilla. Mexican Coke, made with real cane sugar, adds a superior sweetness and depth compared to regular cola. Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to your preferred level of sweetness. A single drop (or two!) of dark chocolate syrup complements the coffee and rum beautifully. Garnish with a coffee bean or a star anise for an elegant touch.
