When I learned the drink back in 1974, it called for tequila,coffee
liq., coffee and whipped cream. I never looked it up until now, and Gary
Regans' "Bartender's Bible" dosen't mention tequila. Ofcourse that book shows
a copyright of 1991, and was probably has an east coast influence. Tequila is
more prevelant here on the west coast.
