Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the espresso

    Brew a shot (1 oz) of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop moka pot. Allow it to cool slightly for 2–3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients in shaker

    In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup if using.

  3. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice cubes. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to chill and froth the drink.

  4. 4

    Strain and pour

    Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled martini or coupe glass to achieve a smooth, velvety texture.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 5

    Add garnish

    Gently place 3 whole coffee beans on top of the foam in the center of the drink as a garnish.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the foam is fresh and the drink is cold.
