Liquids and Spirits
- 2 oz freshly brewed espresso
- 1.5 oz Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 oz vodka
- 0.5 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
Other
- Ice cubes
- Coffee beans (for garnish)
- Brew Espresso: Start by brewing 2 ounces of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or a strong coffee maker. This will provide the rich coffee flavor base for the cocktail.
- Combine Ingredients: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the freshly brewed espresso, Baileys Irish Cream, vodka, and coffee liqueur into the shaker for the perfect blend of flavors.
- Shake: Shake the mixture vigorously for 15-20 seconds. This action chills the drink and creates a frothy texture that enhances the creaminess.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass to keep it cold without diluting the flavors.
- Garnish: Garnish the drink with a few coffee beans on top for an elegant touch and aromatic hint.
Notes
- For extra froth, shake the cocktail longer and harder to increase the creamy texture.
- Use decaffeinated espresso if you want to enjoy this cocktail later at night without the caffeine kick.
- Chill all the ingredients beforehand to achieve the best texture and coldness.
