Step by step

  1. Fill a heatproof glass with hot water to preheat it, using the steam wand.

  2. Pour out water and add 1 tsp. light brown sugar (Demerara) and 1 tsp. dark brown sugar (Muscovado).

  3. Pull the shot of Espresso into the glass.

  4. Pour the hot espresso over to the dissolve sugar, then pour in whiskey.

  5. In a separate bowl with a mixer or by hand, whisk the cream until soft peaks form. The cream should be thick but still pourable. Pour it slowly over a warm spoon onto the coffee, being careful not to break the coffee's surface.
