Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or small cocktail glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink. Alternatively, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker add 6 ice cubes, 2 fl oz Sambuca, 0.5 fl oz coffee liqueur, 0.5 fl oz freshly brewed espresso (cooled slightly) and 0.25 fl oz simple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness. Add 1 dash of Angostura bitters if using.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold and the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy from the espresso.
Strain and serve
Dump the ice water from the chilled glass (if used). Using a fine strainer (or the shaker's strainer), double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe to remove ice shards and espresso crema solids.
Garnish
Float 3 whole coffee beans on the surface of the cocktail as a classic garnish and serve immediately.
