Notes
To elevate this drink, using the right espresso is key. Here are a few tips for choosing the best espresso:
Use freshly ground coffee beans: The fresher the coffee, the better the flavor.
Consider a dark roast: Darker roasts tend to have caramel and chocolate notes that blend beautifully with cola.
Choose a quality espresso machine: If possible, use a high-pressure espresso machine to get a strong, concentrated shot.
