Pull a double espresso and add it to a shaker with the sugar syrup while it is still hot.
Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake very hard for 15 seconds — the foam comes from the shaking, nothing is added to create it.
Double-strain into a chilled coupe.
Serve immediately, before the crema falls.
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.
