Ingredients
For the Mocktail
- 1/2 cup freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or simple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 drops almond extract (optional)

For Garnishing

- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- A dab of maple syrup for sticking
- Whipped cream or frothed milk (optional)
- Dusting of cocoa powder (optional)
- One whole coffee bean or a chocolate shaving (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Glass
- On a plate, combine the biscotti crumbs and cocoa powder. Dip the rim of a coupe or martini glass in a dab of maple syrup, then roll it in the crumb mixture. Place the glass in the refrigerator to chill.
Mix the Mocktail
- In a cocktail shaker or blender, pour in the cooled espresso, mascarpone cheese, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake vigorously or blend until smooth and slightly frothy.
Serve
- Strain the creamy espresso mixture into the rimmed glass. Optionally, swirl whipped cream on top or add frothed milk. Finish by dusting lightly with cocoa powder and adding a whole coffee bean or chocolate curl on top.
Notes
Chill your glass for enhanced beverage temperature and visual appeal. Froth milk for a cafe-like presentation. Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
