Notes
Use freshly brewed espresso and let it cool slightly before shaking to avoid diluting the drink. Shake vigorously to create a frothy top. Chill your glass beforehand for best presentation. For dairy-free options, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk creamer. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to taste.
