This is probably my favorite drink with maraschino, doesn't overpower everything else like I find it does in most drinks. Amazing how much the coffee aroma changes how the drink tastes.

Great drink. Did not use any cane syrup and it was still plenty sweet. Used Cocchi Amaro Vermouth.

Excellent flavours. To me the different ingredients are well balanced but I’d like to try again without the sugar syrup. It was quite sweet. I did make it for dessert so it fit the moment. I did very much like the coffee beans in this drink!

Without the sugar syrup it is exactly to my taste. I used chocolate bitters because I don’t have the whiskey barrel-aged bitters. Upgraded it to 5 stars. Delicious.

Perhaps a little dominated by vermouth, but an excellent nightcap. I was surprised that the coffee beans did add a real background aroma and taste. I want try it with anejo to see if that balances the vermouth better.

Nothing to say about the drink, so you can delete this comment later, but you need to re-order your directions so that number two is last
I have noted this on some other drinks as well

It is good practice to prepare your garnish ahead of making the cocktail so the cocktail is served as freshly made as possible. Hence, I've always put the garnish before the method. However, we're in the process of changing from garnish, followed by one-line methods to steps. While I work my way through 6,000 cocktails, as a first stage, we've added "prepare" in front of the existing garnish instruction. As you say, adding a garnish instruction as the last step will follow.

Outstanding, tequila-forward cocktail. Reposado tequila is definitely better here, and the maraschino and Carpano Antica add significant depth to the flavor (as do the bitters, I suspect). Quite sweet, but I didn't think it was too much. This may diplace the Oaxaca Old-Fashioned as my favorite tequila cocktail.

Delicious and interesting. As written except didn’t have the bitters so substituted Angostura plus a few drops of Old Overholt Rye.

The coffee beans add a strong olfactory element as you sip it

This was delicious. I used herradura anejo and subbed in honey syrup. Wow.
