THE INGREDIENTS:

15ml Lavazza Espresso Italiano Classico
20ml Vodka
40ml White Vermouth
1 dash Vanilla syrup
1 Lemon peel

THE PREPARATION:

Place 6-8 ice cubes in the shaker.
Chill thoroughly, then discard any water that has accumulated.
Using a jigger, measure the vodka and vermouth, then pour them into the shaker.
Add the vanilla syrup and hot coffee.
Close the shaker and shake vigorously for approximately 10 seconds.
Remove the shaker's cap and strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
Finish by rubbing the rim of the glass with the lemon peel, before squeezing it over the drink.

Top Tip: Enjoy Espresso Vermouth for your aperitif.

Preparing the perfect coffee for your cocktail:

As coffee is a key ingredient in this cocktail, getting the proportions of coffee and water right will help to achieve the perfect drink! We recommend using 15g ground coffee to 150ml to brew the coffee in the Moka Carmencita or if you’re using a Cafetière brew a coffee concentrate with 40g ground coffee to 100ml. If you’re using an Espresso machine use the double pressurised filter basket and 15g coffee - this should give you 40-45ml of coffee.
