"This won a "Golden Whisk Award" from the Atlanta Journal Constitution in 2004, meaning it was one of their top 10 recipes for the year. This one is different from others in that it contains cold coffee and is garnished with malted milk balls. Great for a girls' night or a holiday gathering...or hey, just because you deserve it!"

This is great but the Kahlua was a bit overpowering. Even though I love kahlua. So next time I may use only 1/4 ounce of kahlua or omit it completely. Or maybe add more espresso (maybe 1 1/2 ounce). But I won't change the amount of vodka. For me it's perfect. Thanks Epi Curious :) Made for New Kids on the Block
