At first look this doesn't look like that appetizing and was expecting it to taste like it looked but despite the sharpness of the Finlandia it looked good. You can use Kahlua if you want, Whistling Dixie where I went had Eduardo's Coffee Liqueur. Of all the bars where I live would say Dixie is the best for affordability and variety of different liqueurs. The Finlandia had a little more kick in it than the Absolut I tried this drink with earlier.
