Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 1 cup of freshly ground espresso. Ensure the coffee is strong and rich for best flavor.

Cocktail Mixing

  1. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the freshly brewed espresso, 2 oz of Stoli vanilla vodka, 1 oz of Kahlua, and 0.5 oz of Frangelico. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add simple syrup to taste.

  2. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well-chilled and frothy.

  3. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass to remove any ice shards and create a smooth texture.

  4. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with 3 coffee beans placed on the surface of the cocktail for an elegant finish.
