1
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or martini glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling with ice water while you mix the cocktail. When chilled, discard the ice water and set the glass aside.
2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 tablespoons grappa, 1 tablespoon dark crème de cacao, 1 tablespoon cream, and 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup (use only if you prefer a slightly sweeter drink).
3
Shake with ice
Add about 4 ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the shaker is cold and the mixture is well emulsified and slightly frothy from the cream.
4
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove any ice chips and give a silky texture.
5
Garnish and finish
Grate fresh nutmeg over the top (about 1 teaspoon) and optionally place a whole coffee bean in the center. Serve immediately.
