Ingredients

  • 1 oz espresso
  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz Baileys
  • .5 oz Kahlua
  • .5 teaspoon simple syrup optional, or to taste
  • Ice for shaking

Instructions

  • Place glass in the freezer to chill.
  • Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Add one cup ice. Shake for 10 to 15 seconds. Strain into chilled coupe glass.
  • Garnish foam with 3 whole coffee beans.

Notes

Fresh espresso is the best choice, but if you don't have an espresso machine then using an espresso powder to make a shot of espresso is a great substitute. 
Cold brew coffee concentrate can also be substituted.
Regular brewed coffee will not give you the intense coffee flavor needed for this perfect after-dinner drink so for best results, stick to espresso.
Experiment with adding different liquors such as Amaretto, Frangelico, or Rumchata.
