Notes
- Use fresh espresso. The fresher the shot, the better the foam. Cold brew concentrate works as a backup.
- Shake hard for a full 20 seconds. Use long, full strokes — stretch your arm fully above your head and back down. The bigger the shake, the better the foam.
- Chill your glass beforehand. A cold martini or coupe glass keeps the drink colder and the foam intact longer.
- Serve immediately. The froth goes away quicky so pour and serve right away.
