Way way way too sweet. There's got to be some mistakes here, no need for a syrup, let alone a 2:1 syrup. Third espresso, third kahlua, third vodka. Couple of drops of saline solution if your coffee is capsule or preground supermarket grade.

Agree totally kahlua is more than sweet enough

I initially made this as per recipe, but found it too sweet. Tried it again with only 65ml vodka & a teaspoon of sweet freedom vanilla syrup, and preferred it like that. I'll keep experimenting with quantities to make it perfect!

Very strong but nice

steve_withnell

Far better without the sugar syrup.

Depends on if you are a Negroni type or not!

So much quicker and tastes exactly the same if you add the sugar to the espresso, rather than bothering to make a sugar syrup.
