1
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail (about 2–3 minutes).
2
Measure ingredients
Measure 90 ml cold brew, 45 ml vodka, 30 ml La Lechera (sweetened condensed milk) and 15 ml crème de vanille into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker.
3
Add ice for shaking
Add 4 ice cubes from the Garnish & Ice section to the shaker with the measured ingredients. These will both chill and dilute the drink slightly while helping to emulsify the condensed milk.
4
Shake to emulsify
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds. Aim for a firm, consistent shake so the sweetened condensed milk blends smoothly with the cold brew and alcohol, producing a silky texture and slight froth.
5
Prepare serving glass
Empty the chilled glass of any ice water (if used). Add 2–3 fresh ice cubes to the glass for serving.
6
Strain and serve
Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice to remove small ice shards and any unmixed solids. Pour gently to preserve a light foam on top.

7
Finish the cocktail by floating 3 whole coffee beans on the foam or resting them on the surface as a garnish. Serve immediately with a short stirring spoon so the drinker can incorporate the garnish if desired.
