First time making a cocktail with frangelico, it's good but I usually like my coffee cocktails with some sweetness which this lacks. Having said that I'd probably have this again, maybe after a dessert to strike a balance

My thoughts exactly. I did pair it with a fresh, chocolate donut, which worked nicely. I also tried modifying the drink with 1/4oz sugar syrup, and 2 drops of saline - thought it tasted better.
