Pull the espresso

Fill the shaker with ice
Fill a shaker with a generous amount of ice.
03
Add the ingredients
Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso and sugar syrup if a sweeter drink is desired.
04
Shake
Shake very vigorously for 15-20 seconds: this step is essential for creating the characteristic foam on the surface.
05
Strain into the glass
Strain into a pre-chilled cocktail coupe.
06
Garnish and serve
Garnish with 3 coffee beans placed at the centre of the foam. Serve immediately.
