Transcript excerpt
This is an espresso martini. We start with a shot of espresso. Now we're ready to make the cocktail using a technique called fat washing. First, coffee grounds. Add coconut oil and Belvedere good then freeze overnight. The solid layer that forms is the fat cap. It traps the coconut oil and the coffee grounds while leaving their flavor texture behind. Strain the liquid and mix with more vodka, lime juice, and white chocolate syrup. Now what's missing from our coffee? Milk, which we combine with our coffee mixture. The citrus helps it curdle, which clarifies the cocktail. What's left is a completely clear drink with the flavor and texture of coconut oil, coffee, and milk. Finally, whisk Belvedere white chocolate syrup, coffee liqueur, egg whites, and coconut liqueur. Shake and serve with shaved milk chocolate.
