Tools

Contains caffeineCaffeine does not make you less drunk, it makes you feel less drunk — the impairment is the same and only your read on it changes. Judge this one by what went into the glass rather than by how alert you feel, and give it the same distance from bedtime you would give a coffee.

Preparations

Simple Syrup20 minutessee method

Place 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan and bring it to boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pan from heat and let the syrup cool completely before using or storing.

Method

  1. Shake hard with ice. The foam comes from the espresso, so don't be gentle.
  2. Double-strain into a chilled coupe.
  3. Float three coffee beans on the crema.
