How to Make Caffè Medici

A Caffè Medici is a double shot of espresso extracted over chocolate syrup and fresh orange peel and topped with whipped cream. The drink was created at Last Exit on Brooklyn, a historic coffeehouse of Seattle. ^[1]

Brews one serving.

EditIngredients

• Two shots espresso (doppio)
• One" square of orange peel
• Two tablespoons of chocolate syrup
• Ingredients for whipped topping; either whipped cream or cappuccino cream
• One to two orange slices for serving suggestion (optional)

EditSteps

1. Whip the cream. Cover tightly and refrigerate if it'll be more than ten minutes until your drink is done.
   
2. Set the orange peel in the glass and drown it in the chocolate sauce. Because the Caffè Medici is a layered coffee drink, it should be served in a clear glass, unmixed.
   • Although orange is traditionally used, you can also add some lemon if you wish.
3. Extract two shots of espresso directly into the glass over the orange peel chocolate syrup.
   
4. Top with a couple good-sized dollops of the whipped topping. Sprinkle with sifted mixture of 1:1 ratio confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder (optional).
   • You can grate fresh orange peel or semi-sweet chocolate over the whipped topping if you like.
5. Serve with a spoon and a couple slices of fresh orange. Enjoy!
   

EditTips

• For an extra-fancy zing, rub some orange juice around the rim of the glass before adding the espresso.
