I prefer the higher alcohol version, but this one is lovely as well. Depends on if you are looking for something a smidge sweeter.

Too strong on the coffee for me; great for those who want a coffee forward taste over the alcohol

Tried with Cut Smoked Rum in place of vodka and it was great. Well worth a try. Prefer with Tia Maria over Mr Black, but both good options.

Thought I should try this before the Difford's recipe for comparison purposes. No Mr. Black or NOLA at my local LCBO, so I opted for Tia Maria, having never had it before. Glad I didn't use Kahlua, because this still came out pretty sweet and vanilla-tasting. Was surprised by how well everything came together though, and the espresso still really shined, despite the drink being overall slightly too sweet. I can see why Difford adjusted the recipe.

Really nice with cognac instead of vodka and 1/4 oz rich Demerara syrup. The toffee notes come out nicely. Thanks to Anders Erickson YouTube for the idea.

Using Mr Black it needed a little more sweetness for me; added 10-15ml of spiced sugar syrup and its perfect!

I did this because otherwise I was worried that it would be too bitter. Delish - and quite nice if you use chocolate covered coffee beans rather than just regular ones!
