Ingredients

For vanilla demerara syrup

2 cups water

3-1/4 cups demerara sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

for cold brew espresso

1 cup coarse ground espresso

4 cups filtered or distilled water

For cocktail

1 ounce reposado tequila

3/4 ounce Borghetti Caffe Espresso liqueur

1/4 ounce Licor 43

1 ounce cold brew espresso

1/2 ounce vanilla demerara syrup

1/4 ounce lemon juice

Instructions

To make vanilla demerara syrup: Heat water in medium saucepan over high heat. Add sugar and vanilla bean paste. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool, then store in

a sealed container in the refrigerator. The syrup will last for 2 weeks.


To make cold brew espresso: Mix together ground espresso and water in a large container. Let sit at least 12 hours or overnight. Strain through mixture through a coffee filter

and store in the refrigerator. Alternatively, an unsweetened, unflavored store-bought cold brew espresso will work.


To make cocktail: Combine all ingredients except for champagne in a cocktail shaker tin and shake with ice. Strain into either a champagne flute or coupe and top with

champagne. Sprinkle top with dust or glitter.
