Coffee to the fore but with complex, earthy bittersweet notes

I'd adjust the sweet-dry scale to make it a 4 at most, the maple syrup makes it quite sweet.

What coffee liqueur did you use? This cocktail's balance is very coffee liqueur-dependent. Your choice of coffee will also have some impact.

Used Pisco instead…..good alternative! Next time I will try with rum as Luke mentioned.

I think this is becoming one of my favorite coffee cocktails, though I like to tweak it. Swapping the vodka for a clear rum is quite nice. Upping the maple syrup makes it practically a different drink, but a tasty one. Replacing 30 ml of espresso with 30ml of ristretto cuts down on the bitterness. I don't do all of these at once, just one or two depending on what I want at the moment.

Added 2 drops of coffee and cocoa bitters - very tasty!
