Notes
If you have an espresso machine, pull a short, 1-ounce shot and place briefly in the freezer. This reduces the amount of ice melted from the hot espresso, which would overly dilute the drink. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can substitute cold brew concentrate; however, this won’t have the same flavor.
