Start by brewing fresh espresso and allowing it to cool slightly. Measure out the reposado tequila, oat milk, and Kahlúa so everything is ready for mixing. Having your ingredients prepped ensures a smooth and stress-free cocktail-making experience.

2. First Shake (Dry Shake)

In a cocktail shaker, combine the reposado tequila, espresso, oat milk, and Kahlúa. Shake vigorously without ice to create a frothy base. This step helps build the creamy texture that makes this cocktail so luxurious.

3. Second Shake (Ice Shake)

Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. This step chills the mixture and slightly dilutes it for a balanced flavor profile.

4. Third Shake (Foamy Finish)

Strain the mixture into a clean shaker, discarding the ice. Shake one final time to achieve a thick, creamy foam layer that will sit beautifully on top of the cocktail when poured.

5. Pour and Garnish

Divide the cocktail evenly between two martini glasses. Top with a sprinkle of cacao nibs for a hint of bitterness and a touch of elegance. The cacao nibs not only look great but also complement the flavors of espresso and tequila perfectly.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately and sip slowly to enjoy the bold interplay of espresso, tequila, and creamy oat milk with just the right amount of sweetness and chocolatey goodness.
