Made this with Appleton Signature Blend and Mr Black. I got rum, distinctly seperate from very dry coffee, and the cream was all but unnoticeable; it didn't hang together in any way. I added 10ml of 2:1 sugar syrup and gave it a dry shake and that improved it significantly. Next time I'd try Kahlua (and shaking all three ingredients up front).

Appleton 8 would probably do better than Signature but I think I'd avoid Jamaican rums altogether for this one. Not sure the "funk" is appropriate.

For coffee liquors try Giffard Cafe. My best so far.
By the way I still can't make cream to float on surface. Even aerated. Maybe too much fat? Is 7% ok?

Mr Black is a good but very dry coffee liqueur, while Kahlua, especially since it lowered its alc./vol., is one of the sweeter coffee liqueurs. Tia Maria has been much improved by its new owners and takes a good middle ground. My present go-to is Galliano Espresso Liqueur.

Is Mr Black a lot drier than, for instance, Tia Maria?
