Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Prepare 1 cup of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop espresso maker, etc.). Allow it to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup if desired. Ensure the espresso is not too hot, as it may dilute the other ingredients.

  3. 3

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and blend the ingredients well.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass to achieve a smooth texture.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Place 3 coffee beans on the surface of the cocktail for garnish.
