  • Jigger
  • Chilled martini glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Ice cubes

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz vodka
  • 1 oz coconut cream or cream of coconut
  • 1 oz espresso freshly brewed, cooled
  • 0.5 oz coffee liqueur like Kahlúa
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup to taste
  • ice cubes for shaking
  • shaved coconut or coffee beans garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, coconut cream, espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.
  • Shake very hard for 15–20 seconds until frothy and well chilled.

Use cream of coconut for sweetness, or coconut cream for a thicker texture. Add more or less syrup to taste. For best froth, use fresh, hot espresso and shake vigorously.
