The nightcap version. Gin and vodka backbone meets coffee — more after-dinner than aperitif.
Ingredients
— 🍸 THE BUILD
— 1.5 oz gin
— 1 oz vodka
— 1/2 oz coffee liqueur
— 1/2 oz fresh espresso
🍋 GARNISH
— Lemon expression — express and discard the peel
Prep
— Pull a fresh shot of espresso and let it cool for 2 minutes.
— Chill a coupe glass.
Method
STEP 1 — BUILD
— Combine gin, vodka, coffee liqueur, and cooled espresso in a shaker with ice.
STEP 2 — SHAKE HARD
— Shake very hard for 15 seconds — you want a foam on top.
STEP 3 — SERVE
— Double strain into the chilled coupe to preserve the foam.
— Express a lemon peel over the top and discard — you want just the oil, not the peel itself.
Chef's Note: Greek freddo espresso or Greek mountain coffee adds an extra layer. The lemon oil on top cuts through the richness beautifully.
