The clarified and filtered base is gently chilled and diluted to achieve balance and texture, then served without agitation to preserve its structure and visual clarity.

A separate coffee foam is prepared and carefully layered on top, restoring the familiar aromatic cue of an Espresso Martini without reintroducing colour or weight into the drink itself. This contrast allows the coffee character to remain immediately recognisable while maintaining the clean, minimal aesthetic of the cocktail.

The final serve is intentionally restrained: clarity first, aroma forward, and structure precisely controlled. A familiar classic, redefined through process rather than reinvention.
