A cool caffeine pick-me-up is just what you’ll need before or after doing battle with this decadent Grilled Rib-Eye Cap Steak dinner, and this ­cocktail ­pairing is a no-brainer—for us, anyway. Kinda like dessert, but better.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. Tito’s Handmade Vodka
  • 1 oz. coffee liqueur
  • ½ oz. espresso
  • Splash of half-and-half, if desired
  • 3 espresso beans

Preparation

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake until ice crystals form on the outside and the contents are foamy, then strain into a cold martini glass, and garnish with espresso beans.
