Notes
*If you don’t have espresso, you can also use a store-bought coffee concentrate or leave it out entirely.*If you don’t have Coffee Liqueur, you can substitute an additional ounce of espresso.*If you don’t have Hazelnut Liqueur, Amaretto would also be delicious.*If you would like a drink that is slightly sweeter, add the Godiva Chocolate Liqueur or Creme de Cacao or ½ ounce of simple syrup.Using pasteurized egg white is critical in this recipe! Please do not use a standard egg white as they may contain bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses. If you do not have pasteurized egg whites, or if you have a weakened immune system, leave the egg whites out. Without the egg white, the drink will still be delicious— just not as foamy.
