Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
If your espresso has good crema, pour it into the shaker since it leads to a fuller mouthfeel and possibly more foam.
Preparation Tip 2
Choose high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more) for garnish; its mild sharpness makes for a pleasant contrast to the drink’s sweetness.
