OPTIONAL: The Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur can be replaced with a coffee syrup made with dark brewed coffee with sugar added to make a syrup. The IPA can be any good hoppy, bitter IPA. Orgeat can be made, there are recipes online. Cinnamon Syrup is easy to make. Boil 5 sticks of Cinnamon in a quart of water. Add an equal amount of sugar to liquid to make a one-to-one simple syrup.
