Method
Prepare the Espresso Base
Brew the Espresso
Start by brewing 1 cup of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, Moka pot, etc.). Once brewed, set aside to cool slightly.
Mix with Coffee Liqueur
In a mixing glass, combine the brewed espresso with 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur. Stir well to combine and allow to cool further.
Combine the Spirits
Mix Vodka
In a shaker filled with ice, add 1.5 oz of vodka to the espresso and coffee liqueur mixture. Shake well until chilled.
Add Flavor Enhancers
Incorporate Orange Zest
Add 1 teaspoon of orange zest to the shaker with the other ingredients. Shake gently to incorporate the zest flavor.
Drizzle Caramel Sauce
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce into the mixture, stirring gently to combine without losing the frothiness.
Prepare the Cream Topping
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can add a little sugar or vanilla extract to sweeten it slightly if desired.
Assemble the Drink
Build the Drink
In a serving glass, pour the espresso mixture over ice or straight, depending on your preference. Top with the whipped cream.
Garnish
Finish by drizzling additional caramel sauce over the whipped cream and garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest for an extra burst of flavor.
