Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups coffee liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
- 1 cup dark creme de cacoa
- 1 1/2 cups vodka
- 1 cup espresso, cooled
- 1 orange wedge
- Orange sugar crystals
- 12 ice cubes
Directions
Mix the coffee liqueur, creme de cacoa, vodka, and espresso in a small pitcher. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer until the mixture is very cold, about 3 hours.
Meanwhile, rub the rims of 8 Martini glasses with the orange wedge. Dip the rims in the sugar crystals to coat lightly. Place the glasses in the freezer.
Add the ice cubes to the vodka mixture and briskly stir the mixture until the ice begins to melt. Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses, and serve.
Note: For kids, serve hot cocoa with sugared rims.

My guests and I totally enjoyed this recipe. I will certainly be making this again. I made my own sugar crystals. I used 2 drops of food coloring to 2 tbsp of sugar, then I crushed it to make the sugar more refined. keep up the good job Giada.

It's a bit on the sweet side, but we all loved it! I won't wait for Halloween and probably won't bother with colored sugar either, although the color would be pretty!
