Midnight Cortado

AI-generatedMediumCoupe

Like an espresso martini's brooding older sibling who reads philosophy and wears leather.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz espresso
  • 1/2 oz vanilla syrup
  • 1 oz whole milk
  • 2 dashes angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Pull a fresh espresso shot and allow it to cool for 60 seconds — not fully cold, just off the boil.
  2. 22. Combine vodka, espresso, vanilla syrup, whole milk, and bitters in a shaker.
  3. 33. Add ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to build a thick foam.
  4. 44. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe.
  5. 55. Let the foam settle naturally for 20 seconds before serving.

PRO TIP

Use whole milk straight from the fridge — the cold fat emulsifies with the hot espresso to create a dramatically silkier foam than cream alone.

Garnish — three floating coffee beans
