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
I made this with Hampden Gold and the Jamaican funky fruitiness worked really well with the coffee. Not a big fan of the regular Espresso Martini but this one, and one with cognac, are my favorite variants.
I make this with Diplomatico rum and I far prefer this to a regular vodka Espresso Martini. Swap the Kahlua out for Mr Blacks and a dash of simple syrup for an Espresso on steroids. Love it!
