The Undertow

HotCoffee-forwardCreamyRocket fuel

A layered espresso shooter. Hot bitter espresso hits first, then cold sweet milk rushes in underneath and washes it all down. It's over in about two seconds. Not a sipping drink, not trying to be.

How to order it at the counter

Start with: Tall cup, served as a 3-4 oz shot

  1. 13 pumps vanilla syrup in the bottom of a tall cup
  2. 2Add a splash of milk and swirl
  3. 3Have 2 shots of espresso poured slowly on top so they float
  4. 4Do not stir. Drink it in one go.
