½ oz. amaro (Burtnick uses Nardini Felsina or Cynar)
Mezcal whipped cream

Tools:mixing glass, barspoon

Garnish:grated coffee bean

Preparation

In a mixing glass, combine the vodka, coffee liqueur and amaro. Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass with one large ice cube, then top with the whipped cream. Garnish.

Mezcal Whipped Cream: Whip ½ cup of heavy cream with ½ oz. of mezcal until thick, then add rich simple syrup [2:1] to taste.
