Notes
- Make it sweeter - if you'd like the cocktail to be sweeter you can add 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to your coffee, stir to dissolve then add to the cocktail.
- Use vanilla vodka - vanilla vodka will add a delicious vanilla flavour and sweetness.
- Add baileys - to make it creamy and more dessert-like you can swap the Kahlua for Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur.
- No coffee machine? You can use a Moka pot to make a coffee with great foam OR you can add 1 egg white to your cocktail to create a thick foamy top. Another option is to buy cocktail foam drops online.
