Fill a cocktail shaker or sealable glass jar with ice cubes.

Mix & Shake

Pour the soju, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup over the ice.
Seal tightly and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to create a silky, dense foam.

Float 3 whole coffee beans on top of the dense foam.

Make it alcohol-free

Replace the soju with 60ml non-alcoholic distilled spirit or cold water, and swap the coffee liqueur for 30ml non-alcoholic coffee syrup or spirit alternative (such as Lyre's Coffee Originale).
