Method of preparation
- Shake all ingredients - Nemiroff De Luxe, coffee liqueur, cocoa liqueur and cream - thoroughly in a shaker. This will allow the ingredients to mix well and create a homogeneous consistency, which will ensure a harmonious taste of the cocktail.
- Pour the mixture into a chilled glass to keep the drink cool and fresh when serving.
- To finish the cocktail, grate a thin layer of dark chocolate over the surface of the foam.
To complete the look of a cocktail with Nemiroff products, you can add finely grated chocolate or coconut flakes to the foam. The grated chocolate will reveal additional chocolate notes, while the coconut flakes will create a light tropical freshness.
