Chef's Tips
- Fresh Espresso: Always use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor. Avoid instant coffee if possible.
- Shaking Technique: Shake the cocktail hard to create a rich, frothy layer on top.
- Chilling: Ensure all ingredients are cold before mixing to maintain the cocktail’s crispness.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the simple syrup based on your preference for sweetness.
- Presentation: Use a fine strainer when pouring to keep the drink smooth and free of ice chips.
