Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your martini or coupe glasses for a better presentation.
  2. In a shaker, combine Baileys, Kahlua, vanilla vodka, and freshly brewed espresso.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds to create a foamy top.
  4. Strain the mixture into the chilled glasses.
  5. Add a light dusting of cocoa powder and garnish with a couple of coffee beans, if desired.

Notes

For a non-dairy version, swap Baileys for oat milk cream. Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of Kahlua and vanilla syrup used. For an alternative flavor, consider using flavored vodkas or other liqueurs.
