Ingredients
- 65ml vodka
- 75ml coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua or Tia Maria)
- 75ml freshly brewed espresso
- 6 coffee beans
Step by step
- Chill 2 Martini glasses. Put the vodka, coffee liqueur and freshly brewed espresso into a lidded jam jar or cocktail shaker with a handful of ice. Using hot espresso helps to create a creamy head on the cocktail.
- Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until well-chilled, then strain into the glasses. Top each with 3 coffee beans, if you like.
