[...] I’ve seen some people suggest using Myer’s Dark Rum, which is Jamaican and a little cheaper than the Coruba, but I’ve never held Myer’s in very high regard. The Coruba is just better, hands-down. It provides a nice, funky counterpoint to the sweetness of the coconut cream, both being cut just perfectly by the lime juice. [...]

You might want to mention that this recipe serves more than one person, unless you like to drink 7 oz. of rum at a single sitting...;-) I'd love to see this photo in the Exotic Cocktails and Tiki Mugs Flickr pool, btw (hint, hint).
