Substituting 200 ml cold brew for the 200 ml Filter coffee (hot) worked well for me, for when you'd prefer a cold drink...

I appreciate that this ends up being like an actual cocktail rather than alcoholic coffee. I get the "bite" of the alcohol up front but then the coffee/sugar/vanilla/herbs/spices/cream balance it out on the backend. I used a light roast, but I'm curious how different roasts/coffees would change things.
