Instructions
-
Chill Your Glassware
Fill your martini or coupe glass with ice water or place it in the freezer for a few minutes while preparing the drink. -
Combine Ingredients
Add the Boston Black concentrate, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker filled generously with fresh ice. -
Hard Shake
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. Shaking hard breaks up the ice and creates the signature thick, silky foam on top. -
Strain & Serve
Discard the ice water from your glass. Fine-strain the cocktail into your chilled glass to keep ice chips out of the foam. -
Garnish
Float 3 coffee beans gently on the froth in the center of the glass to represent health, wealth, and happiness.
