Cocktail

2 oz Tito's vodka1 oz Freshly brewed espresso (or very strong coffee), cooled to near room temperature1 oz Mr. Black coffee liqueur1/4 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)6 cubes Ice (for shaking)3 pcs Coffee beans (for garnish)

Optional (for extra froth/texture)

1/2 oz Egg white (pasteurized, optional)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and cold water while you prepare the cocktail.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add the Tito's vodka (2 oz), cooled espresso (1 oz), Mr. Black coffee liqueur (1 oz), and simple syrup (0.25 oz). If using egg white for extra froth, add 0.5 oz (about half an egg white or 15 ml pasteurized) now.

Dry shake (if using egg white)

If you added egg white, seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.

Shake with ice

Add ice (about 6 large cubes) to the shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is very cold and the drink is well-aerated. This both chills the cocktail and produces a glossy crema.

Strain

Dump the ice and water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne or julep strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any coagulated egg white.

Garnish

Float three coffee beans on the surface of the cocktail for aroma and presentation.

Serve

Serve immediately while the top has a glossy crema. Sip and enjoy.
