Shake hard for 30 to 60 seconds to create a nice foam, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Place 3 coffee beans on the foam and serve immediately.
Notes
Sweetener Notes:There are plenty of ready-made keto syrups that you can buy for these and other keto cocktails, so feel free to add your favorites. Some of them are called "coffee syrups" and have flavors, but they can be used in cocktails as well.I like the Miss Mary's Sinless Syrup, but the new ChocZero syrups are great too. The vanilla or the hazelnut would be lovely in this recipe.You can also simply add your sweetener of choice. I recommend a powdered sweetener like Swerve Confectioners, or a liquid sweetener like stevia extract.Even liquid allulose will work nicely. Keep in mind that allulose is only about 70% as sweet as sugar so you may need to add a bit more.
