Make It
Step 1
Combine coffee granules, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until coffee and sugar dissolve and mixture comes to a simmer.
Step 2
Stir in cream and remaining 1/2 cup water. Pour mixture into an 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Transfer to freezer and freeze for 2 hours, scraping with a fork and smashing any larger clumps every 30
minutes. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
Step 4
Scoop frozen coffee into balls and add to coupe or martini glasses. Combine vodka and liqueur and add to
glasses around balls. Add sparkling wine and serve.
Step 5
Note: To vary the recipe, try tonic water instead of sparkling wine.
