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 using Mount Gay rum and Cointreau. I love the rum and sour/sweet orange notes. I was pleased to find a use for my tub of xantham gum! It is a truly delicious cocktail and I will gladly add it to my repertoire.

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.

So delicious served on the rocks.
