Hi Everyone,
I haven't had a Black Magic for about a year now, but I remember it tasting a lot like the Barrel of Rum with a pronounced coffee flavor and no honey. I have no recollection of the Black Magic containing pineapple juice, Pernod, or cinnamon syrup. Am I this far off? To my mind the two dominant flavors in the Black Magic are passion fruit and coffee. Any thoughts?

P.S. I am also wondering if Mai-Kai uses chilled coffee in any of their drinks or if instead they typically deploy coffee liquor, syrup, or brandy instead? I've tried adding chilled (good quality) coffee to the Barrel of Rum recipe and the results are quite nice.
