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.
