Instructions
 

Garnishing the Glassware

  • Dip. Gently dip the edge of your glass into a small dish of simple syrup, then shake off the excess syrup.
  • Press. Press the syrup-dipped glass into a small dish of vanilla sugar, and set the glass aside to allow the sugar to adhere to the rim of the glass.

Making the Cocktail

  • Brew. Brew a double espresso, or measure out 2 ounces of cold brew concentrate.
  • Chill coffee. Add ice to a cocktail shaker, and pour your coffee over the ice.
  • Add vodka. Add in 2 ounce of vanilla vodka.
  • Add Kahlua. Add 1 ounce of Kahlua.
  • Pour syrup. Add 1 ounce of simple syrup.
  • Shake. Shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds. This is what chills the drink and gives it the signature foamy and frothy top!
  • Strain. Strain your drink into the prepared coupe glass, double-straining if preferred, to make sure there are no ice chips.
  • Garnish and serve. Garnish with three vanilla beans and serve immediately.

Big Batch Blender Recipe

  • Combine. Add the espresso, Kahlua, vodka, and syrup to a blender.
  • Blend. Blend for 30 seconds.
  • Pour. Pour into prepared glasses, leaving a bit of room for foam.
  • Top. Top with extra foam from blender.
  • Garnish and serve. Garnish with espresso beans and serve immediately.
