By Victoria Walsh
4 oz vodka
2 oz coffee liqueur
1 cup (250 mL) espresso or strongly brewed, good-quality coffee, cooled
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk or oat milk
Set out four 1-cup (250-mL) jars with resealable lids. Pour 1 oz vodka and 1/2 oz coffee liqueur into each jar. Divide coffee between jars. Pour milk into a separate mason jar that holds at least 2 cups (500 mL). If making ahead, seal all the jars and store in the fridge overnight. Just before serving, add ice to each jar with coffee mixture. Vigorously shake the milk jar. Using a spoon, hold back the foam while you divide the milk between jars. Spoon a little foam over each. Serve immediately.
