Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a rocks glass or coupe by placing it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or filling briefly with ice water, then discard the ice water before pouring.
Add ice to a cocktail shaker until about two-thirds full (approximately 6 standard ice cubes).
Pour 1.5 oz Frangelico, 0.5 oz vodka (if using), 1 oz slightly cooled espresso, and 0.25 oz simple syrup into the shaker.
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill and slightly froth the mixture (this helps integrate the espresso and liqueur).
Strain the mixture into the chilled rocks glass over fresh ice (or serve neat in a coupe if preferred).
Gently float 1 oz heavy cream on top: pour the cream over the back of a spoon held just above the drink surface so it layers, or if you prefer, lightly shake the cream with a few ice cubes for 3–4 seconds and pour for a marbled effect.
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 tsp toasted or shaved hazelnuts over the cream layer, then dust with 1 tsp grated dark chocolate or a light pinch of cocoa powder.
Serve immediately with a short stirring stick or straw so the drinker can incorporate the cream into the liqueur as desired.
