Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Cold brewed coffee
- 1.5 oz Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 0.5 oz Dark chocolate syrup
- 1 oz Heavy cream
- 0.25 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.25 tsp Grated dark chocolate (for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
Add the cold brewed coffee, coffee liqueur, and dark chocolate syrup to the shaker.
Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.
Strain the mixture into a chilled lowball (rocks) glass filled with fresh ice.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.
Whip the cream mixture lightly using a small whisk or milk frother until it becomes thick but still pourable (soft peaks form).
Carefully spoon the whipped cream over the cocktail to create a layered 'cloud' effect on top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful harmony of flavors!
