Liquids
- 5 cl Vodka Poliakov
- 3 cl Marie Brizard Coffee Liqueur
- 1 cl Canne Canadou Syrup (cane syrup)
- 1 shot freshly brewed espresso (about 30 ml)
- Prepare the espresso: Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your preferred method and allow it to cool slightly to prevent excessive dilution or melting of ice during shaking.
- Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes, pour the vodka, Marie Brizard coffee liqueur, cane syrup, and the prepared espresso shot.
- Shake well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and a frothy crema forms on top.
- Strain and serve: Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass using a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth texture free of ice shards.
- Garnish (optional): For an elegant touch, garnish with three coffee beans placed on the frothy surface representing health, wealth, and happiness.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor and to create the signature foam.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the quantity of cane syrup according to taste preference.
- If you do not have cane syrup, simple syrup can be used as a substitute.
- Serving chilled martini glasses enhance the drinking experience.
- Shake well to develop the crema and chill the drink thoroughly.
