From the Bartender

A northern Italian café standard. Two things make or break it: shake it while the espresso is still hot so the crema emulsifies, and drink it inside a minute. Some bars add a measure of amaro or sambuca, which turns it into a very good after-dinner drink.

Freddo Espresso

Fresh Double Espresso

Freddo Espresso

A thick cold foam that drinks almost creamy despite containing no dairy, with clean bitter espresso underneath and no dilution until the very end.

Vietnamese Iced Coffee

Strong Dark-Roast Coffee

Vietnamese Iced Coffee

Caramelised milk sweetness carrying a very dark, almost chocolatey bitterness, thick on the tongue and cut only by the ice as it melts through.

Caffè Corretto

Fresh Espresso

Caffè Corretto

Hot bitter espresso with a spike of grape spirit burning through the middle of it, the heat carrying the grappa's fruit straight up into the nose.

Espresso Tonic

Tonic Water

Espresso Tonic

Quinine bitterness and citrus oil arrive first, then the espresso comes through warm and roasted against all that cold — the two never fully blend, and the drink is better for it.
