Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1/2 oz amaretto
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 1 oz espresso shot freshly brewed
  • Ice
  • Coffee beans for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pull a shot of espresso.
  • Chill a coupe glass in the freezer.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker generously with ice.
  • Add the vodka, amaretto, espresso, and simple syrup.
  • Shake hard for 20 to 30 seconds until very cold and frothy.
  • Strain quickly into the chilled coupe glass.
  • Garnish with three coffee beans.

Notes

  • Espresso: Use a freshly pulled shot, hot with crema. The crema is what creates the frothy top. Cold brew or instant won't give you the same result.
  • Simple syrup swap: You can replace the simple syrup with homemade non-alcoholic coffee liqueur for more coffee depth, or a coffee liqueur if you want to go full classic.
