Easy to make, the waiting was worst part(3 hr. chill time). It was very "Potent" as it said even after we cut the rum in half like it said. We loved it though and will reduce the rum even more this time! it was thick, creamy and went down so smooth. We doubled the batch and it was gone way to fast for only two people. So, may I suggest a triple or quad batch since the 3 hour wait to chill it seemed so long!!!
