From the Bartender

The key to a proper crema on an Espresso Martini is using freshly pulled espresso - cold brew or pre-made coffee will not produce the signature frothy foam. Shake harder and longer than you think necessary; the emulsification of coffee oils is what creates that luxurious top layer.
