I found the cinnamon a bit to owerpowering. Especially with Monin Cinnamon Syrup - where I would dial it back 5-7.5ml. Otherwise refreshing like a tropical downpour!

Look, it's a great cocktail, but especially for those in Europe (or outside of NAFTA) who cannot source (good) tequila at "cheaper" prices as our fellow discerning american drinkers.....i suggest tailoring the amount of cinnnamon quite carefully. It is great, and well integrated - but you might easily hide a tequila you have spent 30 euros importing.... also, although this might have been more easily guessed by the community than it was by me, we are in a tiki-cocktail - the sweetness is tiki. So if you are up for something more mexican, don't be afraid of dropping the cinnamon to even 5 (mine is, perhaps too cinnamon forward - the sweetness (to "anglosaxon", rather than tiki) standards - is in the pineapple. But for those who can pay a reposado 20 bucks, and want a tiki cocktail with a slightly-hidden tequila, then the ingredients are there and I am happy to have tried it. Surprisingly well "integrated".

It's an excellent cocktail, really tasty. But please, it's impossible that 120 ml of tequila plus some coffee liqueur adds up to just 2 standard drinks. One of those figures is awfully wrong. Unless, of course, that me and my Scottish pal, Richard, have redefined what a standard drink is. Period.

For me it was a great cocktail where the individual ingredients come up one after another in a beautiful combination.
You really get the agave notes then the coffee and cinnamon hits you.
