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
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
Add Espresso
Once the espresso has cooled slightly, pour 1 oz of the espresso into the shaker with the other ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, about 1 cup, to chill the mixture.
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
Strain and Serve
Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass. This will help create a smooth texture.
7
Garnish
Garnish the drink with 3 coffee beans placed on top for an elegant finish.
