BEST ESPRESSO
DIFFICULTY: No.
TIME: It’s a fucking mixed drink, really?
What you’ll need from the cupboard: A Martini glass (because they look cool). A cocktail shaker.
What you’ll need from the pantry: Absolut Vodka. Kahlua Coffee Liqueur. Espresso. Raw Sugar Syrup (in the sugar section of most all stores).
* * *
Pour 1-1/2 shots of vodka, a 1-1/2 ounce shot of hot espresso (substitute strong coffee if you don’t have an espresso maker), a shot of Kahlua, and a half a teaspoon of Raw Sugar Syrup in your cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake like your life depends on it.
Strain into the ice-filled Rocks glass.
Garnish with an espresso bean or two.
Coffee and alcohol in the same drink. Are we in heaven?
Enjoy.
