    Steps

    1

    Pull a fresh espresso shot and let cool for 1 minute.

    2

    Add espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup to a shaker.

    3

    Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.

    4

    Double-strain into a chilled martini glass.

    5

    Garnish with 3 coffee beans.

    Pro Tip

    The vigorous shaking creates the signature frothy top. Use freshly pulled espresso — old coffee won't create enough crema.
