Start your evening right with a union of coffee and citrus with hints of hazelnut and cocoa. These classic coffee pairings meld splendidly with Mr. Black. But this cocktail didn't just develop from uniting these perfect flavors. Indeed it began with a passion to find Mr. Black in the Southern U.S. where availability is exceptionally limited. Thankfully I acquired a bottle after a cross-country road trip, and this cocktail is now brought to light for all to enjoy. Truly well worth the buzz.
