Method

  1. Chill the Glass: Place your coupette glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the Poetry Vodka, coffee liqueur, and fresh espresso into a cocktail shaker.
  3. Dry Shake: Shake the ingredients vigorously without ice for 10-15 seconds. This emulsifies the proteins in the coffee to create a dense, persistent foam.
  4. Wet Shake: Fill the shaker with plenty of ice. Seal tightly and shake hard for another 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
  5. Strain and Serve: Double strain the mixture into the chilled coupette glass to ensure a smooth, ice-chip-free texture.
  6. Garnish: Garnish with three coffee beans floating on the foam.
