Caffe Shakerato

Directions

1. 1
   In the base of a cocktail shaker, mix together espresso and sugar until sugar is dissolved.
2. 2
   Fill shaker with crushed ice, close, and shake until shaker is frosted and mixture is foamy, about 20 seconds.
3. 3
   Strain into a martini glass, top with a dollop of Coffee Whipped Cream, and serve.
4. 4
   Place very clean glass or metal bowl and metal whisk in freezer just until cold, about 5 minutes.
5. 5
   When everything is cold, place cream in bowl and begin to whisk until it froths up and starts to thicken, about 1 minute.
6. 6
   Whisk vigorously until soft peaks form (the cream will hold a point when the whisk is lifted but will fall back into the bowl almost immediately), about 1 minute.
7. 7
   Add the liqueur and whisk until stiff peaks just form (the cream stays put on the whisk when it is lifted from the bowl), about 1 minute.
8. 8
   Store covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
