Equipment

cocktail shaker
Martini glasses

Ingredients

2 ounces vodka
1 ounce brewed espresso cooled (or cold brew concentrate)
½ ounce coffee liqueur
½ ounce simple syrup
Coffee beans for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.
Add ice and shake very hard to chill the cocktail and aerate the ingredients (this makes the foam on top of the cocktail).
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with coffee beans and serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure to cool the coffee completely after brewing it, or it'll melt the ice and you won't have a nice chilled cocktail. To cool your hot espresso quickly, you can put it in the freezer for a few minutes.
