One of the best-known cocktails from the 1980s.

Review

As fattening as it is alcoholic, this indugent, creamy dessert in a glass cocktail is served with generous innuendo.

Variations/similar cocktails

Without the vodka, this is a mere Orgasm. And where's the satisfaction in that?

Liked it as is, definitely an adult milkshake. Funnily enough the flavors mix to give off a chocolate and nuttiness rather than any coffee flavor. Can't imagine the point drinking the standard orgasm with how much of a dessert this already is, guess it better be screaming.

A grown up milkshake. It's honestly surprisingly good. I'd scale it down to 3cl of each ingredient, though, and maybe reduce the Amaretto to 2cl since it does slightly overpower the other ingredients.

Just made one and it’s pretty darn good. The only thing is the amaretto is pretty overpowering, I think next time I’d drop it down to 15ml, or else swap it for frangelico.

I don't like the taste of coffee is there something I can substitute or will I even taste the coffee.

As Avery mentioned, this tastes like an alcoholic milkshake...and it's delicious, if you're in the mood for that. If you're worried about calories and/or overindulging, I reckon this could easily be split into 2 old fashioned glasses to share with someone.

I reached #69 on my Hall of Fame challenge and felt like I *had* to do this one for #69. And...yeah sure, it certainly tastes like a several hundred calorie alcoholic milkshake. It's absolutely delicious as long as you look at the ingredient list and go "yup, I would love an alcoholic milkshake and a sugar coma right now" and not expect anything else.

A fitting choice! Congratulations on your progress. I'm on the lookout for another cocktail to add to our Hall of Fame to take it (back to) to #291. Suggestions gladly received.

I think I'd throw my hat in the ring for one of the Cynar drinks that are typically top of the "I just got some Cynar, what should I make?" recommendations: Artichoke Hold, Too Soon, Bitter Giuseppe.

Needed a dessert for some friends who came over for dinner so this was perfect! I used Kahlua which is a little bit sweeter than Bebo, so I used a little bit less of it (1 oz) and added a little bit more Vodka. One might say it was an Extra Noisy Screaming Orgasm.
