Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Freshly brewed espresso
- 0.5 oz Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 0.5 oz Hazelnut liqueur (e.g., Frangelico)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 tsp Chocolate shavings

Instructions

Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Add vodka, freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, and hazelnut liqueur to the shaker.
Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will blend the flavors and chill the drink thoroughly.
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass to remove any ice or foam.
