7 steps

What you need

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Put a coupe or martini glass in the freezer to chill.

  2. 2

    Brew the espresso and let it stand for 1-2 min so it is warm rather than scalding.

  3. 3

    Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full with ice.

  4. 4

    Pour in the vodka, coffee liqueur, simple syrup and espresso.

  5. 5

    Close the shaker tightly and shake hard for 20-30 seconds, until the outside is frosty. Hard shaking builds the foam.

  6. 6

    Strain through a fine strainer into the chilled glass.

  7. 7

    Let the foam settle for a few seconds, then float the coffee beans on top and serve.
