Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz (90 ml) cold brew concentrate
- 2 oz (60 ml) vodka
- 0.75 oz (22 ml) vanilla syrup
- 0.5 oz (15 ml) Kahlúa or coffee liqueur (optional)
- Ice cubes
- 3 espresso beans (for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill the martini glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Measure and pour 3 oz cold brew concentrate, 2 oz vodka, 0.75 oz vanilla syrup, and 0.5 oz coffee liqueur into a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to create a thick, foamy layer.
- Remove the glass from the freezer and strain the cocktail into it using a strainer (and optionally a fine mesh sieve) to keep the foam intact.
- Garnish with 3 espresso beans floating on top.
Notes
For a vegan froth boost, add 0.25 oz (7 ml) aquafaba to the shaker. Use chilled cold brew concentrate for best results. Shake vigorously to create a thick foam. Chilling the glass enhances the drinking experience. Vanilla syrup can be substituted with caramel or hazelnut syrup for different flavors.
