Ingredients

45ml Vodka
30ml Coffee Liqueur (Kahlúa)
30ml Freshly Brewed Espresso
10ml Sugar Syrup
Ice Cubes

Instructions

Brew a fresh shot of espresso and allow it to cool slightly for 30 seconds.
Add vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and sugar syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker feels ice cold and a frothy layer forms.
Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
Garnish with three coffee beans on the foam.

Pro Tips

Use freshly brewed espresso — instant coffee won't create the signature crema foam.
Shake hard and long; the foam is what makes this cocktail visually stunning.
Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for the best experience.
