Tips
If you do not have an espresso machine, you can easily use instant coffee or filter coffee! For instant coffee - use two teaspoons of instant coffee and dissolve with 20 ml of water.
If you use instant or filter coffee, you won't get the nice foamy layer on top. To combat this, you may use a cold egg white - simply add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and dry shake (NO ice) for 20 seconds until foamy and then add the ice and shake again until cold. Strain into martini glass and serve.
If you prefer a version without egg white, you may use Aquafaba. Those that have used Aquafaba before will be aware of its magical powers... If you haven't - well, it's true that you learn something new every day! Aquafaba is, quite simply, chickpea juice. It is the liquid that comes in canned chickpeas and other legumes. All you need to do is add 20ml to the cocktail shaker in place of egg white and follow the steps above (dry shake first).
