Instructions

  1. Roughly crush the coffee beans using a mortar and pestle or a heavy skillet on a cutting board.
  2. In a small saucepan, simmer the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Add the scraped vanilla bean seeds and whisk to break them up. Let the vanilla simple syrup cool.

  4. Cover the shaker and shake well for at least 30 seconds until well-chilled.
  5. Place a fine mesh strainer over a chilled martini glass and pour the drink through the strainer, discarding the coffee beans. Serve chilled.
