I didn't have a proper amaro, so I used equal parts decaf espresso, Jägermeister, & Tia Maria, with a lemon zest twist (expressed & discarded). Surprisingly good!
Even with equal parts, the Jäger hides the coffee a bit, so I'll try 30/20/40 next time.
I only had 15ml lemon juice (due to a Jack Dempsey), so I subbed 5ml gin. To my surprise, it was still a bit sweet (is that because I used agave nectar?). After looking at the original recipe, I added another 15ml gin (total of 50ml), and ta-da!
