Tips

  • Shake very hard - the foam comes from vigorous shaking.
  • A chilled glass is non-negotiable.

Variations

  • Add vanilla vodka for a sweeter version
  • Use Baileys instead of Kahlúa for a creamier martini
  • Make it a mocktail: replace alcohol with cold brew and vanilla syrup

Frequently Asked Questions

Why 100% Arabica for cocktails?
Clean, strong flavour cuts through alcohol without chicory earthiness - essential for a balanced cocktail.
Can I make this without a cocktail shaker?
Use a jam jar with a tight lid. Shake just as hard.
