Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare espresso

    If using hot espresso, brew 1 oz of very fresh espresso and allow it to cool slightly (about 1–2 minutes). If you prefer a cold variation, use 1 oz of cold-brew concentrate or chilled espresso.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in 2 oz Licor 43, 1 oz cooled espresso (or cold-brew), and 1 oz cold whole milk or half-and-half.

  3. 3

    Shake

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds. The goal is to chill the mixture thoroughly and create a lightly frothy texture from the milk and espresso.

  4. 4

    Strain and serve

    Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or old-fashioned glass over a few fresh ice cubes (or serve neat without ice if you prefer). Use a fine mesh strainer to remove any tiny ice shards or espresso grounds.

Garnish

  1. 5

    Express the orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick squeeze to release oils onto the surface. Rim the glass lightly with the twist and drop it in.

  2. 6

    Float 2–3 whole coffee beans on the surface for aroma and presentation.
