Description
This viral coke espresso drink layers Coca-Cola, a shot or two of espresso, and cream into a creamy, fizzy sip that balances sweet cola against bitter coffee. Three ingredients and about a minute to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- Coca-Cola (enough to fill a glass about 2/3 full)
- 1 to 2 shots espresso
- heavy cream (to top)
Equipment
Instructions
- Add the cola. Fill a glass about two-thirds full with cold Coca-Cola.
- Add the espresso. Pull one to two shots of espresso, let them cool for a few seconds, then pour over the cola.
- Top with cream. Slowly pour heavy cream over the back of a spoon so it floats on top.
- Serve. Sip as is for the creamy-then-fizzy effect, or stir gently to blend, and enjoy right away.
Notes
- Use cold Coca-Cola straight from the fridge to keep the most fizz.
- Let the espresso cool briefly so it does not foam up and flatten the soda.
- Pour the cream over the back of a spoon for a pretty layered look.
- Dial the espresso up or down to make it more coffee-forward or more soda-forward.
- No espresso machine? Strong instant espresso or cold brew concentrate works.
