Juice-Infused Espresso Shots

La Marzocco Cafe's Liquid Sword Combines Espresso & Grapefruit Juice

— February 22, 2018 — Lifestyle
Espresso shots are consumed as a means of enjoying a concentrated, full-flavored form of coffee, and those who are looking for a truly unique flavor experience must try a unique concoction called 'Liquid Swords.'

At the La Marzocco Cafe and Showroom in Seattle, a new resident takes over for a month in order to offer their own unique take on coffee. For its month-long takeover, Kickapoo Coffee created Liquid Swords as a cocktail that combines a base of Columbian espresso with heavy cream and a top layer of grapefruit juice.

For the ultimate tasting experience, Kickapoo Coffee recommends consuming the fruit juice first, then swirling the cream into the espresso, or enjoying the remaining layers separately.
