If you’ve ever got any espresso left over in the pot after breakfast, don’t pour it down the sink; pour it into a sealed container, save it and use it up in this cosy cocktail when you get home in the evening.
Serves 2
30ml amaretto – we use Disaronno
30ml Kahlua
30ml room-temperature espresso
A scattering of toasted ground almonds, to garnish
Fill a shaker with ice, pour in the liqueurs and coffee, and shake vigorously for 10-20 seconds – the more you shake, the more froth you’ll create. Strain into two martini glasses, garnish with toasted ground almonds and serve.
