From time to time it can be entertaining to try something new that you know is going to be kind of gross. That line of thinking led me to order shots of Patron XO Cafe yesterday morning, a move that indeed turned out to be kind of gross, although it did reveal the potential for some tasty mixed drinks.
The Patron was served as a room temperature shot, and smelled like the devil's breakfast drink. The coffee essence was strong, and was interesting combined with the tequila flavor, but the XO Cafe is also incredibly sweet, so much so that sipping just an ounce of it was cringe-inducing. (Since I planned to sip this in order to get a feel for the flavor, I did make a mistake by not ordering it on the rocks -- however, even icing it down wouldn't make up for the extreme sweetness.) Regardless, I'm not ready to write the stuff off altogether because I suspect the XO Cafe would be magical combined with Baileys or Kahlua, or as an ingredient in a booze-laden milkshake.
