Local supplier was out of Tia Maria so I tried Mr. Black. Unlike the coffee-chocolate-spice deliciousness of Tia Maria, Mr Black is just diluted cold brew coffee, vodka, and a wee bit of sugar. Since these are basic ingredients always available in my home, what do I need Mr Black for?
Made exactly as written - Really good and very balanced. No element is dominant but all are discernible.
