How to make it
1. Chill the Glass
Fill your coupe glass with ice water to chill it while you prepare the drink, or place it in the freezer for a few minutes.
2. Shake Vigorously
Empty the ice from your glass. Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice cubes. Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and sugar syrup. Shake hard for 15 seconds to ensure the espresso creates a rich, creamy froth.
3. Strain
Double-strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into your chilled glass to keep out tiny ice shards and preserve the smooth foam.
Garnish
Gently float three coffee beans on the foam in a tight triangle to represent health, wealth, and happiness.
Make it alcohol-free
Replace the vodka with a non-alcoholic spirit alternative (like Lyre's White Cane Spirit) and swap the coffee liqueur for a non-alcoholic coffee spirit alternative.
