What Makes This Recipe Great
This is an emergency!!!! The urgency needed to make this new Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso is like nothing else I have ever created. I have made it so many more times after I created it, because it’s just that good. The hot espresso melts the brown sugar to create a warm and smooth base to this drink. Adding vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur and Irish cream liqueur with ice and you have your new fall drink for those cold evening by the fire.

Frequently Asked Question
Can I make this cocktail ahead of time?
- YES. I know for a fact it works great as a make ahead cocktail. You can mix the espresso and brown sugar and keep it separate from the liqueur combo until you are ready to serve. Or you can mix all the ingredients together, and before you serve make sure to vigorously shake.
