Begin by chilling your martini glass. This can be done by filling it with ice water and setting it aside as you prepare your drink.
Mix the Drink:
In a shaker, combine the freshly brewed espresso, coconut rum, vodka, and coffee liqueur.
Fill the shaker with ice, ensuring there's enough to cool the drink but not too much to dilute it.
Shake It Up:
Secure the lid on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The goal is to chill the drink thoroughly and add a slight frothiness from the espresso.
Prepare the Garnish:
While your drink is chilling, prepare your garnish.
Toast some coconut flakes until they're golden brown and fragrant. This will add a lovely aroma and a crunchy texture to the drink.
Serve:
Empty the ice water from your martini glass.
Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass, ensuring a smooth pour.
Garnish and Enjoy:
Sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes over the top of the drink.
Add a few espresso beans for an extra coffee kick and an elegant look.
