My eyes jumped ahead to the bulleted ingredient list (I take it the "official" ingredients) so I missed this:

This is more doable.

I was thinking, too, we could probably make our own facsimile, more similar to the original, say with cooking cream and coconut milk, instead of coconut cream and milk.

Investing in three liqueurs to make a single cocktail is a bit of a whopping expense too. I suppose we could sub out either the chocolate liqueur or the kahlua using an extra shot of rum plus either chocolate ice cream or coffee ice cream, instead of cream.

Hmmm. I will have to think this over. I am going to come up with budget-friendly bushwacker for when my stomach behaves. Hmm....

Idea:
-- 3 oz rum
-- 1 oz espresso
-- 1 oz chocolate ice cream
-- 2 oz coconut milk

That should roughly cover the bases of taste and texture.

Oh wow, I just realized. My friend has home made walnut liqueur. We could make a variation with that, instead of coconut. Coffee-chocy-walnut. Yum.

I fear we could get very trashed with such experiments.
