Ingredients: 

½ ounce Reyka Vodka
1½ ounces espresso
½ ounce turbinado syrup (see note)
2 dashes Regan’s Orange Bitters No. 6
3 roasted coffee beans for garnish

Recipe directions: 

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with 1-by-1-inch ice cubes, followed by vodka, espresso, turbinado syrup, and Regan’s Orange Bitters. Shake well until well-chilled and frothy, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Float the coffee beans on top and serve. Makes one cocktail.

Note: To make turbinado syrup in a saucepan, combine 2 cups of turbinado sugar with 1 cup of water. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves into a syrupy consistency for about five to seven minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
