Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass or lowball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill the glass.
- 2
Prepare espresso
Brew a shot (about 1 oz) of espresso or make strong coffee. Allow it to cool slightly (about 1–2 minutes) so it won’t melt the ice immediately.
- 3
Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 6 ice cubes, 2 tablespoons Patrón XO Café, 1 tablespoon Patrón Silver tequila and the cooled 1 oz espresso. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup.
- 4
Shake
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and the exterior becomes slightly frosty. This both chills and provides mild aeration to the espresso for a velvety mouthfeel.
- 5
Serve
Discard ice or water from your chilled glass. Strain the cocktail into the chilled rocks glass over fresh ice (one large cube or a few smaller cubes), or serve neat if preferred.
- 6
Garnish and finish
Express an orange twist over the drink to release the oils and either drop it in or discard. Alternatively, float 2–3 whole coffee beans on top for aroma and presentation. Serve immediately.
