This particular blended beverage is a frozen cocktail, closely resembling a milkshake in texture and appearance. It typically comprises dark rum, coffee liqueur, crme de cacao, vanilla ice cream, and a sweetener, often blended with ice and sometimes topped with grated nutmeg or chocolate shavings.
The popularity of this drink stems from its creamy texture and rich, dessert-like flavor profile, offering a potent yet palatable alcoholic experience. Its origins can be traced to the Caribbean, with variations existing across different islands and coastal regions. Its appeal lies in its adaptability, allowing for modifications to suit individual preferences and available ingredients.
