Vice Vice Baby

Meet Vice Vice Baby—a cocktail that leans all the way into indulgence without losing its edge. It’s where late-night espresso meets dessert decadence, wrapped in a silky, aromatic finish.

 

Built on the smooth vanilla backbone of Stoli Vanil, this drink layers in the bold, roasted intensity of Mr. Black and fresh espresso for a rich caffeine kick. A touch of port wine syrup adds a deep, velvety sweetness, while orange bitters and Turkish Tobacco bitters bring unexpected warmth and complexity.

 

A few drops of saline sharpen every flavor, and Fee Foam gives it that lush, creamy texture. Finished with chocolate shavings, Vice Vice Baby is equal parts after-dinner treat and midnight pick-me-up—decadent, daring, and just a little dangerous.
