From the Bartender

Dark crème de cacao is the traditional and preferred choice here - it delivers deeper chocolate intensity than the white variant, giving the drink its characteristic richness and color. Some bartenders swap equal parts cognac for a split of cognac and aged rum to add subtle complexity without straying far from the classic.
