Espresso Base

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Begin by brewing 2 shots of fresh espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Once brewed, let it cool for a few minutes to avoid melting the ice too quickly.

Mixing the Cocktail

  1. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the cooled espresso, 1 oz of coffee liqueur, 1 oz of vodka, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

  2. 3

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

Serving

  1. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Make sure to use a fine mesh strainer if you want to eliminate any espresso grounds for a smoother texture.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with 3 coffee beans placed on top of the foam. Optionally, you can dust a small amount of cocoa powder over the top for an extra touch.
