Method
- Chill the Glass: Place a martini glass or coupe into the freezer to chill or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the drink.
- Combine the Ingredients: Pour the Dark Drop Rum, coffee liqueur, blackberry liqueur, and freshly brewed double espresso into a cocktail shaker.
- Add Ice: Fill the cocktail shaker to the brim with large, solid ice cubes to ensure a cold drink and a thick foam.
- Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid and shake the mixture hard for approximately fifteen seconds to create the signature frothy head.
- Strain the Liquid: Discard the ice from your chilled glass and double strain the cocktail through a fine mesh sieve into the glass.
- Garnish and Serve: Lightly sprinkle the surface of the foam with cocoa powder and serve immediately.
