Method

How to make Mocha Express

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill the coupe thoroughly, confirm that no garnish is required, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure vodka, irish cream, coffee liqueur, espresso accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Pre-chill a coupe and let the fresh espresso cool briefly, add the vodka, Irish cream liqueur, coffee liqueur, and espresso to a shaker filled with solid ice, shake hard for 10–15 seconds until very cold and finely aerated, fine-strain into the chilled coupe, let the restrained tan foam settle evenly, and serve without garnish.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Serve immediately without a garnish while the drink is at its best.
