Notes
Be sure you are not using a pre-sweetened or creamed option for your espresso contrate.
You can brew fresh espresso if you desire. It needs to be chilled before adding it to this recipe, or the recipe will not turn out as it should. Do NOT use instant coffee, from the packets, for this espresso vodka cocktail recipe. It just does not turn out quite as tasty.
Do NOT eat the whole coffee beans. They are for garnish only!
