Yes. Replace with Kahlúa or another coffee liqueur, though the flavor profile will shift slightly depending on sweetness level.
Fresh lime juice is recommended for better flavor and balance; bottled juice lacks the brightness this drink relies on.
Use a 100% agave blanco tequila for cleaner flavor; mixto tequilas will produce a harsher finish.
Cut a thin wheel from a fresh lime and optionally make a small slit to rest it on the glass rim for presentation.
