- Total Time: 4 minutes
- Yield: 1 Glass 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 50 ml Vodka
- 30 ml Coffee Liqueur
- 1 shot (30Ml) Fresh Espresso
- 15 ml Simple Syrup (Optional)
- Ice Cubes
- 3 Coffee Beans For Garnish
Instructions
- Place a cocktail glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill with ice water to pre-chill and ensure a lasting frothy top.
- Brew a fresh espresso shot — it should be strong and aromatic. Let it cool for 30–60 seconds before shaking to prevent over-dilution.
- In a shaker, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup (if using).
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the outside turns frosty and a rich foam forms inside.
- Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass to achieve a velvety surface and remove ice shards.
- Garnish beautifully (optional): Gently place three coffee beans on the foam in a triangle — symbolizing health, wealth, and happiness.
- Enjoy the balance of smooth vodka, bold espresso, and creamy texture — an energizing, sophisticated sip for coffee lovers.
- Optional tip: For a dessert-like twist, add a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cocoa powder before shaking.
