Stumptown Vanilla Flip

  The Pacific Northwest is the birthplace of America's specialty coffee culture, and beyond the coffee shops that dot every street corner of the region, bars have gotten in on the action, mixing locally roasted coffee into cocktails like this one from Seattle bartender Andrew Friedman, which features espresso from Stumptown Coffee Roasters. "Their Hair Bender espresso is so expressive that I thought it deserved to be in a cocktail," says Friedman. Taking inspiration from the classic froth of a flip cocktail, this velvety concoction harmonizes the rich, chocolaty notes of the espresso with vanilla-flecked Navan liqueur. Mandarine Napoléon adds the perfect splash of orangey sweetness.

  

Ingredients

Serves 1

  1 fresh egg white

  2 ounces Navan vanilla liqueur

  1/2 ounce fresh-brewed espresso, at room temperature

  3/4 ounce Mandarine Napoléon orange liqueur

  Ice cubes

  

Tools:

Hawthorn strainer, 2 cocktail shakers

  

Glass:

cocktail

  

Garnish:

orange twist

  Put the spring from a Hawthorn strainer and the egg white in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until soft peaks form, about 30 seconds; set aside. In a separate cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla liqueur, espresso, and orange liqueur with ice and shake well. Add this mixture to the egg white (with the shaker spring still inside) and quickly shake to combine. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with the orange twist.
