You can alter how much of the black velvet you put in this drink but to me the goldschlager neutralized the whiskey. I have heard if you want to add cointreau to this drink you can light it on fire and it gives it more of a smoky taste. My Canadian friend tried this with me last night and being the more seasoned drinker than me this didn't have the effect on me that it did him. Once again congrats to the Sabrecats for winning arena bowl 21.
