Tips
- For an alcohol-free version, simply omit the tequila. The coffee will still be delicious with the chocolate and cinnamon.
- You may substitute the dark chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer a sweeter coffee.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a touch of chili powder for an extra Mexican twist.
