  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Once brewed, allow it to cool slightly.

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the brewed espresso, 1 oz of Licor 43, 1 oz of vodka, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

    Shake with Ice

    Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

    Prepare Irish Cream Whip

    In a separate bowl, combine 2 oz of Irish cream liqueur with 1 oz of heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the mixture until it reaches soft peaks.

    Strain the cocktail mixture into a chilled martini glass. Top gently with the Irish cream whip.
