Made as instructed but stirred for longer rather than adding a splash of water. Didn’t think I was going to enjoy it but this one is great. Definitely one for my rotation.

Couple of negative(ish) comments here, but I made this as directed and very much enjoyed it. Got a lovely foam with the egg white. Just the right sweet/sour balance for my palate. I’m putting it in my little black book!

How on earth have I missed this one? Just perfect following the recipe as published. It’s a shame it looks a little flat without ice or a garnish. (maybe I’ll pimp it up next time with something to make it look better🤔)

I make this with Diplomatico rum and I far prefer this to a regular vodka Espresso Martini. Swap the Kahlua out for Mr Blacks and a dash of simple syrup for an Espresso on steroids. Love it!

Just picked this recipe up on instagram. It’s quite a large drink by volume (make sure your glass is big enough) but very enjoyable. Perhaps a little too easy to drink 🥴

Followed recipe to the letter and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a sweet drink but didn’t spoil my enjoyment. (In fact I’m probably going to make another one right now) Looking forward to trying the Comte de Sureau next.

Was looking forward to this based on the individual ingredients. Disappointingly, the sum of those ingredients didn’t add up to anything special (for me). It wasn’t terrible, just not great. I also agree with an earlier comment about the aftertaste.

You must try this, it’s delicious. The review above is exactly right, surprisingly well balanced with big flavours. It really does get better with each sip.

I wasn’t expecting to like this but tried it based on the positive comments. Pleased I did, very good indeed, an enjoyable sipper. Just curious, is this cocktail called Mad Men or Made Men?
