I am back a year later to retry this cocktail, having finally bought a bottle of Galliano coffee liqueur (and some double cream).I am also using 40% M&S 5-times distilled English grain vodka. I now rate it a 4.5 as it is less sweet without the substitution of Kahlua. I am so glad I came back to it. It pays to follow the recipe!
I made this with Absolut vodka, Kahlua, Frangelico, single cream and grated nutmeg. It was too sweet for me but I put this down to the substitution of Kahlua. To give this its due I think it would need the Galliano coffee liqueur (or something other than Kahlula) so I shall pick up something else next time and try the cocktail again. I am thus giving 3.5 stars, and will give a new rating after trying the original.
Found this to be an outstanding after dinner drink. All the ingredients work well together and none seemed to overwhelm the others. We did use Flor de Cana Spresso as the coffee liqueur as it is rum based as it was excellent.
