Lower ABV than many (maybe all) espresso martini derivatives - earthy/bitter espresso notes dominate, with only background presence of the rum and syrup sweetness. A nice, simple cocktail that doesn't require a coffee liqueur.

I altered this slightly by adding 15ml Mr Black coffee liqueur and upped the sugar syrup (2:1 demerara) to 15ml -- absolutely delicious!
