[@kongking4086]

What a surprise that tropical flavour works so well with coffee. Really inspirational.

[@issthebartender]

[@nedne-1]

Nice one again. Thank you!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Thanks for watching!

[@braxtonjens7839]

Just found your channel.
Such good info, education, and content.
I’m a big fan of specialty coffee cocktails.

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Thanks Braxton, I appreciate the kind words! Lots more to come 😁

[@ryangarrick7420]

Really missed the signature 'woo' on the shake. Great vid mate, having fun learning some great fundamental ingredients!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I’ll make a Coffee Woo Woo just for you when I see you. Woo’s everywhere!

[@rho1360]

I'm so making this ....or something vaguely like it more like probably but thank you for the inspiration 🍹

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Hope it goes well!

[@TheIgor120299]

Thank you for sharing recipes for Saccharum, I’ve made a coffee version and it’s came so good I’m actually gonna use it in a coffee competition)

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

That’s awesome, good luck!

[@TheIgor120299]

I’m back with a second place in Polish Cezve/Ibrik! Thank you again for the amazing recipe!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

@@TheIgor120299 Amazing, huge congratulations!

[@michaelmayer2595]

Wow sounds great, definitely gonna try that one!
Fun fact I made a very simple Coffee Whisky sour like Cocktails a few months ago too, buy just mixing equal parts(2cl) of lemonjuice, simple Sirup (Demerara), whiskey and 4 parts of ColdBrew what makes is more like a long drink but I think it works quite well and is very easy and fast :)
Thanks for doing these videos, it’s inspiring me a lot to do more CigS stuff as a Barista.

[@FennMeister]

Hi Dan. Really much enjoying your videos, very inspiring. Could you perchance do something with Coconut? 🥥. Cheers, thanks.

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Thanks so much! Check out the Champagne Coffee Colada, that’s one of my favourite recipes from last year!

[@mattruz9238]

I haven't come across Kavalan whiskey in my area. Any suggestions on a substitute....bourbon,irish,blended? Will be making this in summer.cheers!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I recommend something with a flavour profile of tropical fruits and vanilla, or something that complements those flavour notes. You could go with something finished in rum barrels such as Tullamore DEW XO Rum Cask Finish which would work really well, or even a solid blended whisky like Monkey Shoulder or a Bourbon like Buffalo Trace would be great also. Or you could even use rum. So many options, haha! Experiment with whatever spirit you love and you can always adapt the other ingredients to fit. Here are some options that would work:
- Monkey Shoulder Whisky: geni.us/bWNC0I
- Buffalo Trace Bourbon: geni.us/uFfB
- Nc’Nean Organic Whisky: geni.us/eCEhNV
- Kavalan Classic Whisky: geni.us/4f1O (more widely available than the Kavalan #1 in the video)
- Appleton 8 rum: geni.us/4mXKfz2
- Discarded Banana Peel Rum: geni.us/EHXR3A

[@gustavoguimaraes7667]

Hi Dan. How are you? Is it possible to substitute the coffee licquor by the coffee saccharum that you made? Thx!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Sure, that will work well! You just might need to adjust the balance as it is a little sweeter than the coffee liqueur in the recipe.

[@ChrisJones-bp7ij]

I take it you could swap out the whisky for a decent rum?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Sure thing! Experimentation is always encouraged!

[@taiwaneseguy1091]

Great work. Whats the shelf life of the saccharum?

[@rho1360]

Yes I wanted to ask that too .....

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Officially, I don’t know the technical shelf life (things become tricky if anyone has an issue!), but I have had bottles still taste great after a few weeks in the fridge and had no problems myself!

[@digantt]

Is coffee sacrum generally a substitute for coffee liquor?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Absolutely, just consider that you may need to adjust the sweetness level as it varies a lot between coffee liqueurs.
