Method
Cocktail
Combine and shake
Add the dark rum, vodka, Kahlúa, simple syrup, fresh lime juice and two dashes of Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with ice (cubed).
Shake vigorously
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
Prepare glass
Fill a chilled old-fashioned or coupe glass with fresh ice (if serving on the rocks) or leave chilled and strain into a chilled coupe for up to 3 ounces. If serving on the rocks, add 3–4 large cubes to the glass.
Strain and finish
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove tiny ice shards for a cleaner texture.
Garnish
Express the lime peel over the drink to release oils, rub it around the glass rim and drop it in as a twist. Optionally float three coffee beans on top for aroma and presentation.
Serve
Serve immediately while cold. Sip and note the interplay of dark rum's molasses notes, Kahlúa's coffee sweetness, vodka's clean backbone and the lift from lime and bitters.
