Looks like this and the Toasted Almond are different amounts of the same ingredients.

Good observation, Peter. I've added links between both cocktails.

I am not a coffee drinker, but do use Flor de Cana Spresso Coffee Liqueur from Nicaragua which has a rum base that I do like. This was outstanding as an after-dinner cocktail. Since I did not have coffee beans, I did a dusting of freshly grated nutmeg. It was perfect.

delicious. I just added 1/4 oz of simple to sweeten it a bit.

Used a honey-almond liqueur which really mellowed the coffee flavor. Very enjoyable.

This was easy to prepare and just as easy to sip. Nice variation on the White Russian
