☕ Espresso 1059

1 glass · prep 5 min · cook 0 min

Ingredients

• 45 ml vodka
• 20 ml coffee liqueur (Kahlúa)
• 30 ml HOT freshly pulled espresso
• 10 ml simple syrup
• 2 dashes chocolate bitters
• Dark chocolate shavings

Method

1. The espresso must be freshly pulled and still hot: that is the only way to get the good crema. Cold coffee will never foam.
2. Pour all the liquids into a shaker filled with ice.
3. Shake very hard for 15 seconds — the agitation is what builds the crema.
4. Strain into a chilled coupe and wait 15 seconds for the foam to separate.
5. Grate dark chocolate over the top.
