Caffé Modena

This is a nice choice for New Year’s Day or brunch. In Italy a caffè corretto is a shot of espresso “corrected” with a splash of alcohol say grappa or sambuca. This drink takes the opposite approach by adding espresso to the liquor. Revive yourself with this smooth and bracing blend of espresso, balsamico and vodka.

Ingredients:

ice
1 ounce Espresso Caffè Vergnano Oro Capsules
2 ounces of vodka
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar Villa Manodori "Artigianale" Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP
1/4-ounce agave syrup
coffee beans for garnish (optional)
