Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ ounces coffee vodka
  • 1 ounce espresso
  • 1 ounce Kahlua
  • 3 whole coffee beans for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the coffee vodka, espresso, and kahlua to a cocktail shaker.
  • Add ice and shake until well chilled.
  • Strain into a martini or coupe glass.
  • Garnish with whole coffee beans, if desired.

Notes

  • Shake it well: It’s important to shake the ingredients vigorously before pouring to create that velvety smooth foam top.
  • For a sweeter cocktail, add just a touch of simple syrup to the cocktail shaker.
  • For a creamy cocktail, try adding a ½ ounce of heavy cream or a creamy liqueur, like Bailey's Irish Cream.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of espresso.
