- Level: Easy
- Yield: 1 drink
- Total: 2 min
- Prep: 2 min
Ingredients
Freshly brewed double shot espresso
1 teaspoon sugar
Crushed Ice
Coffee Whipped Cream, for garnish
Coffee Whipped Cream:
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
3 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
Directions
- In the base of a cocktail shaker, mix together espresso and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Fill shaker with crushed ice, close, and shake until shaker is frosted and mixture is foamy, about 20 seconds.
- Strain into a martini glass, top with a dollop of Coffee Whipped Cream, and serve.
Coffee Whipped Cream:
- Place very clean glass or metal bowl and metal whisk in freezer just until cold, about 5 minutes.
- When everything is cold, place cream in bowl and begin to whisk until it froths up and starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Whisk vigorously until soft peaks form (the cream will hold a point when the whisk is lifted but will fall back into the bowl almost immediately), about 1 minute.
- Add the liqueur and whisk until stiff peaks just form (the cream stays put on the whisk when it is lifted from the bowl), about 1 minute. Store covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
