Espresso Veloce
A recipe like a supercar: Espresso Veloce combines the punch of a double ristretto with fine rum and a subtle citrus note. The ultimate kick for connoisseurs with a taste for speed.
Ingredients (for 1 drink):
1 double ristretto or very strong espresso (e.g., Lamborghini Platinum)
2 cl dark rum (such as Zacapa or Don Papa)
1 cl coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa or homemade)
Freshly grated lemon zest / lemon peel
Ice cubes
Optional: a spoonful of cold milk foam or lightly whipped cream
Preparation
Brew a fresh cup of espresso and let it cool slightly.
Shake the rum, coffee liqueur, and ice vigorously in a shaker.
Strain into a tumbler or cocktail glass.
Slowly pour in the espresso so that it floats to the top.
Garnish with citrus zest and, if desired, a small dollop of foamed milk.
Enjoy—but keep a safe distance. 😎
