Why it works
The roasted bitterness of coffee balances the sweetness and plays off the vanilla and fruit in the liqueur.
Tip
Taste before adding sugar or coffee liqueur: it rarely needs either. The vodka is optional.
To serve
A small cocktail glass with a light layer of foam.
Meet the liqueur

An alcoholic drink, for adults only. Enjoy it slowly and in moderation.
