2. Fill with ice.
   
3. Shake hard for 15–20 seconds.
   

You want:

• Thick foam layer
  
• Slight dilution

2. Add 3-4 coffee beans.
   
3. Insert mini rainbow lollipop or candy straw.
   

Want It Even More “Party”? Add:

• ½ oz Irish cream for a dessert version.
  
• A pinch of edible glitter (bar-safe, not craft glitter).
  
• Colored sugar instead of sprinkles for cleaner look
  

This is a sweet-forward martini.
If you want it less sugary:

• Skip vanilla syrup.
  
• Keep the rim thin.
  
• Add a tiny pinch of sea salt to the shaker.
