Great after dinner cocktail. I did not have any Irish cream liqueur and so instead used Amarula, I am not a fan of sweet cocktails and so I increased the vodka to 45ml. It worked perfectly,

I liked this. found the hazelnut (Frangelico) dominated. Didn’t have Galliano Espresso so used Kahlua (older bottle, 20%).
It reminded me of a Mudslide. Can’t say I enjoyed it more than just a simple Bailey’s over ice. Did enjoy the nutmeg on top- added a nice flavour.

Heaven in a glass, this was not planned but just saw it and as we had a chocolate dessert thought it would be perfect. Hubby made it, it was great but noticed too late he omitted the coffee liqueur lol so making it again Sunday 🤣😂

Great, sweet, cocktail for when one is in the mood. I was out of Frangelico so used Nonino, a different nut liquor. Was still complex and lovely.

Fanatastic, I ended up doubling the vodka but it was good as is. Sweet, but that's part of the point. Similar flavor to a mudslide but not so thick and cloying.

Delicious after dinner cocktail although some palates may find it a tad sweet.

Lovely, silky combination of flavours. In lieu of Irish Cream, I used 5-10 ml extra Tia Maria plus about 25-30 ml fresh cream. Though I am sure the Irish Cream adds its own special flavours.

What a wonderful night cap. Great mixture of flavours with nothing overpowering the other. The creamy texture and the hint of nutmeg is perfect.

For me this is the perfect nightcap. It just has an overal cozy vibe. I can also really taste every invdividual ingredient, nothing gets lost or masked.
