Manhattan Coffee

Last night I created a new drink. Or, at least it's new to me.  I haven't done a search to see if someone else came up with the idea before me.

It's a Manhattan variation that replaces vermouth with Kahlua:

2 oz. bourbon (Knob Creek)
1 oz. Kahlua
2 dashes mole bitters

It was sweeter than a regular manhattan, and the whiskey punch was less than usual, but it still had some nice complexity to it.  Overall, a nice break from the boozy heaviness of regular manhattans, but it still retains the taste of a serious drink.
