Method

How to make Alexandra

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear coupe and ready a fine grater with a small piece of whole nutmeg.

  2. 02

    Measure the dark rum, overproof rum, coffee liqueur, heavy cream, and pasteurized egg white into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Add solid cold ice, seal the shaker, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until thoroughly chilled.

  4. 04

    Strain the mixture back into the empty shaker and dry-shake without ice for another 10 seconds.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so the mocha drink settles with one fine even foam cap.

    Grate one restrained dusting of nutmeg at the center of the foam and serve without another garnish.
