LONG SHOT
To make a Long Shot pour one shot of espresso “lungo” or “long.” To do this the normal 1.5 ounces of water are dispensed through the compacted espresso grounds using a longer (lungo) extraction time than usual.
A typical long shot may be extracted for anywhere from twenty-five to forty seconds. In contrast, a normal espresso not is usually only extracted for about twenty seconds. A Long Shot is also know as an Espresso Lungo.
MACADAMIA MOCHA
To make a Macadamia Mocha, pull two shots of espresso and add one ounce each of macadamia nut syrup and chocolate fudge syrup. Finish filling up the cup with steamed milk. Now sprinkle some toasted coconut atop the drink along with a dash of grated chocolate.
