Method
 

Preparation
  1. Fill a shaker with ice.
  2. Add vodka, white rum, gin, and silver tequila.
  3. Add coffee liqueur, cold brew concentrate, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  4. Shake hard for about 10 seconds until the shaker feels icy cold.

Notes

Chill all ingredients for the smoothest sip. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup. Use cold brew for less bitterness and a more chocolatey flavor. If using espresso, let it cool before mixing. This cocktail works best in a tall glass with plenty of ice.
