Instructions
- Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice water and letting it sit for a few minutes.
- In a shaker, combine 2 oz vodka, 1 oz freshly brewed espresso (cooled), 1 oz coffee liqueur, and 0.5 oz simple syrup.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass, filling it about halfway.
- In a separate glass, combine 0.5 oz heavy cream and 0.25 oz vanilla syrup, then use a milk frother or whisk to froth until slightly thickened.
- Slowly pour the frothy cream over the back of a spoon, allowing it to float on top of the espresso mixture for a layered effect.
- Garnish with 3 coffee beans placed in the center of the cream.
