The Clash of the Stag is pretty versatile with regard to coffee due to the other robust flavours, so give it a go with whatever strong cold brew you have to hand.
Jägermeister and malt whisky work wonderfully together with the cold brew. Vana Tallinn liqueur, a lovely citrus, vanilla, cinnamon, rum-based liqueur from Estonia, is not essential to the recipe, but does pair really well with the other ingredients. If unavailable, it can be substituted with Cointreau.
