Ingredients

  • 45 ml vodka
  • 30 ml coffee liqueur Mr Black if you can, Kahlua works
  • 30 ml fresh hot espresso
  • 10 ml simple syrup optional, to taste
  • 3 coffee beans, to garnish
  • ice

Instructions

  • Chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Pull a fresh shot of espresso. Hot espresso is what gives you the crema on top.
  • Combine vodka, coffee liqueur, hot espresso and syrup in a shaker with a big scoop of ice.
  • Shake hard for 20 seconds. Strain into the chilled glass.
  • Float three coffee beans on the foam. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh espresso, not cold brew. Heat + hard shake = foam. Cold brew won't froth.
