Ingredients

300ml vodka
210ml coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa, Tia Maria or coffee tequila
150ml freshly brewed espresso coffee
A few handfuls of ice
Coffee beans to serve (optional)

Method

Put the vodka, coffee liqueur and espresso in a large jug/pitcher with the ice, then stir with a long-handled spoon to chill the mixture.
Strain the cocktail into a blender, discarding the ice, then whizz to create the all-important frothy crema on top. Strain into glasses, and, if you like, float 3 coffee beans on the surface of each.

A few hours ahead, combine the ingredients in a large jug or pitcher (without ice) and chill until needed. Whizz the mixture in a blender (or shake in a cocktail shaker in batches over ice), then strain into glasses to serve.
