Used Kahlua and bumped down agave syrup to a single barspoon, the result was still mostly sweet (not complaining though)

Comments about this being too sour make my head spin, I found this too sweet, and that was with Luxardo Espresso, a much dryer coffee liqueur. That said, this is a delightful, delicious Margarita variant and I really dig it. 2-3 barspoons of agave syrup is what I'll use going forward.

too sour!

Agreed, as do other commentators. Hence, I have reworked the recipe to better balance. However, this is dramatically affected by your choice of coffee liqueur.

tried with a sweeter, cheaper, coffee liqueur (pataka) and the new recipe and its much better

Adding 0.25 oz. Of dark roast home brewed coffee to this adds an nice extra complexity on the back end taste. It's really fantastic.

Something...really isn't right here. It's like something is horrifically off between the coffee and lime and not in a nice way like Fernet..

Add ginger syrup for a bit extra

Looking forward to making this for my Margarita-loving friends!

I make mine with equal amounts (1oz) each of tequila, lime juice, and coffee liqueur), but bumping up the tequila sounds like a good idea. May I suggest a light sprinkling of Taijin over the top of the drink in the glass, it adds a nice bit of complexity with a wee touch of heat.

This is a pretty genius concoction. Depending on the coffee liqueur you use, you can make it even blacker by topping with additional coffee (filter or even espresso). Great as a hangover cure :)
