Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- 1 martini glass
Ingredients
AeroPress Espresso
- 18 grams coffee ground for espresso
- 100 grams water 210°F (99°C)
Simple Syrup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 tbsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp hot water
Other
- ice
- 1 oz heavy cream
- 1 oz Seedlip Spice 45 optional
Instructions
- Prepare AeroPress for brewing in the upright position. Ideally use the flow control cap, if available (see note).
- Grind coffee to espresso fineness and add to AeroPress.
- Add 100g of near-boiling water to AeroPress and stir back & forth aggressively. Set aside to brew for ~2 minutes.
- After ~2 minutes, slowly push down on the AeroPress over 30-45 seconds.
- Make the simple syrup my mixing brown sugar, vanilla and hot water together. Stir to combine.
- In a cocktail shaker, add ice, AeroPress espresso, simple syrup, heavy cream, and Seedlip Spice 45. Shake vigorously.
- Double strain into a martini glass.
- Garnish with three coffee beans.
Notes
- The Seedlip Spice 45 is not required but does add some nice complexity to the drink. Feel free to swap with another non-alcoholic spirit of your choice.
- Using the flow control filter cap isn't required, but does help avoid any dripping through during brewing and when grinding as fine as espresso.
