Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew a shot of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    Fill the Shaker

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of vanilla vodka, 1 oz of Boston Harbor coffee liqueur, and 1 oz of dark crème de cacao.

  3. 3

    Add Espresso

    Once the espresso has cooled slightly, pour 1 oz of the espresso into the shaker with the other ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes, about 1 cup, to chill the mixture.

  5. 5

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.

  6. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass. This will help create a smooth texture.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with 3 coffee beans placed on top for an elegant finish.
