Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes, pour the vodka, Marie Brizard coffee liqueur, cane syrup, and the prepared espresso shot.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
