Can I use decaf coffee for the Danbooka?

What type of coffee works best in a Danbooka?
A bold, dark roast coffee is ideal for the Danbooka, as it complements the strong flavor of Everclear. Look for coffee blends that are rich and full-bodied to ensure that the coffee flavor shines through in this cocktail.
Is the Danbooka suitable for cold serving?
While the Danbooka is traditionally served hot in a coffee mug, you can also serve it cold by using chilled coffee and ice. This variation can create a refreshing twist, especially during warmer months.
What is the best way to garnish a Danbooka?
