Start by making the syrup. Put the @golden caster sugar{100%g} in a #small pan{} over medium heat and pour in @water{50%ml}. Stir, and bring to the boil.

Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool.

Put 2 #martini glasses{} in the fridge to chill.

Once the sugar syrup is cold, pour 1 tbsp into a cocktail shaker along with a handful of @ice{}, the @vodka{100%ml}, @espresso{50%ml} and @coffee liqueur{50%ml}. 

Shake until the outside of the cocktail shaker feels icy cold.

Strain into the chilled glasses.

Garnish each one with @coffee beans{4} if you like.
