We invite you to join us in celebrating where the art of coffee meets the world of film with our specially crafted Lavazza Blue Coffeetail, inspired by the iconic Blue Carpet of the Film Independent Spirit Awards. As seen at this year’s award ceremony, this fun mocktail is a unique and creative way to indulge in your favorite coffee—and can easily go from day to night by adding your choice of vodka. Follow along to craft this signature Coffeetail at home.

INGREDIENTS

2oz Espresso (We recommend using whole bean coffee for a premium experience)
2oz Vodka (Optional)
.25oz Simple syrup (made with a 1:1 ratio of water and sugar)
3oz Heavy cream
.25oz Blueberry syrup
¼ Teaspoon butterfly pea flower powder
Ice

EQUIPMENT

Bar shaker
Hawthrone strainer
Handheld frother
Martini glass

PROCEDURE

Step 1: Add the espresso, vodka (if using), simple syrup, and ice to a bar shaker. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds then strain into your martini glass.

Step 2: Combine heavy cream, blueberry syrup, and butterfly pea flower powder in a small cup. Use the handheld frother and froth until the mixture is creamy and a bit thicker.

Step 3: Layer an inch of the blueberry cream on top of the espresso.

Step 4: Enjoy!
