Equipment

  • Rocks glass
  • Mixing glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Strainer
  • Jigger
  • Large ice sphere or ice cubes
  • Espresso maker or stovetop Moka pot

Ingredients

  • 1 oz gin
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1 oz Campari
  • 0.5 oz coffee liqueur like Kahlúa or Mr Black
  • 1 oz freshly brewed espresso chilled
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters optional
  • 1 large ice sphere or several ice cubes
  • orange peel for garnish
  • whole coffee beans for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Brew espresso and let it cool.
  • Add gin, sweet vermouth, Campari, coffee liqueur, chilled espresso, and bitters (if using) into a mixing glass.
  • Fill mixing glass with plenty of ice and stir gently for 20–30 seconds until well chilled.
  • Place a large ice sphere or cubes into a rocks glass.
  • Strain cocktail into the prepared glass.
  • Garnish with an expressed orange peel and optional coffee beans.

Notes

Use cold espresso to avoid excess dilution. Gins with citrus or herbal profiles pair best with the coffee and Campari. Adjust coffee flavor by reducing coffee liqueur or espresso. Sweet vermouth smooths out the bitterness and orange peel adds a bright finish.
