A cold, caffeinated nightcap: vodka, coffee liqueur, and a fresh shot of espresso, shaken until it gets that signature foam cap.
Ingredients (per drink)
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Coffee liqueur
- 1 whole Espresso
Instructions
- Brew a fresh shot of espresso and let it cool slightly.
- Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, and espresso to a shaker with ice.
- Shake hard for about 15 seconds — this is what builds the foam.
- Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass.
