Every evening deserves a proper ending. The nightcap is an old tradition, the last small glass of the night, made to be held, sipped and lingered over once the plates are cleared.

This one is dark and quietly rich. Coffee liqueur brings depth, a whisper of dry vermouth adds lift, and Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve gives the drink its long, silky backbone. Three ingredients, stirred cold, with a smooth finish that invites one more slow sip.

Rich, bold and perfectly calm. The best way to end the night.

How to make it

Chill a coupe glass in the freezer.

Add Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve, coffee liqueur and dry vermouth to a mixing glass.

Fill with ice and stir for about 30 seconds, until the drink is ice-cold and silky.

Strain into the chilled coupe and serve straight away.

From the Master Blender

Stir this one for a full thirty seconds. A little extra dilution softens the coffee and lets the texture of the vodka come forward. If you like a hint of brightness, express a strip of orange peel over the glass and discard it: the oils lift the coffee beautifully.
