History:

Adapted from a recipe created by USA Speed Rack competition winner Haley Traub while competing in 2018. She was challenged to create a riff on an Espresso Martini and was inspired by her grandmother and her mother's black forest trifle dessert. Haley's original recipe (published in the 2024 book A Quick Drink: The Speed Rack Guide to Winning Cocktails for Any Mood) uses 15ml (½oz) of homemade vanilla demerara syrup.
