Equipment
- beverage shaker
Ingredients
- 2 oz vanilla vodka
- 1.25 oz coffee liqueur
- 1/2 tsp black cocoa powder
- 1 shot espresso cooled (or strong brewed coffee)
- Ice for shaking
- Black salt or black sugar for rim
- 3 espresso beans for garnish
- Small amount of water simple syrup, or coffee liqueur to adhere rim
Instructions
- Rim your martini glass by dipping the rim in a small amount of liquid, then pressing it into black salt or black sugar on a flat plate. Set aside.
- Pull one shot of espresso and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Add black cocoa powder to your cocktail shaker. Add a small splash of coffee liqueur and stir to dissolve the cocoa so it does not clump.
- Add ice to the shaker, filling it halfway.
- Pour in the vanilla vodka, remaining coffee liqueur, and cooled espresso.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously until your hands are cold and the shaker is sticking to your fingers. This should take at least 30 seconds of hard shaking.
- Strain into the rimmed martini glass, pouring slowly to preserve the foam.
- Place three espresso beans in the center of the foam as garnish. Serve immediately.
