Espresso martini mocktail

Instructions

  1. Mix. Stir espresso, syrup, and vanilla together and chill.
  2. Shake. Shake 1/3 cup per drink with ice very hard for 15 seconds.
  3. Serve. Strain into chilled coupes and top with three coffee beans.

Hosting tip: Shaking hard is what makes the foam. Fresh espresso foams best.
