Review:
Naturally, this also works well with well-aged rums, but I prefer the cleaner bite of a rum with a mere three years or so age in this delicious cocktail.
Variant:
With sugar syrup rather than coffee liqueur this is an Espresso Daiquiri and based on tequila this is becomes a Jalisco Espresso
History:
A riff on Dick Bradsell's classic Espresso Martini.
