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!

Awesome if you use Vanilla infused Vodka.
Since my Martini glasses seem to be quite big, instead of 1 shot I use 1.5
