Kingston awakens to a rhythm all its own. As the sun rises over the harbor, the city stirs to life with the aroma of strong Jamaican coffee brewing in countless kitchens and street-side cafés. This morning ritual fuels the island’s energy—a bold awakening that prepares you for whatever the day brings. Yet as evening falls, that same harbor transforms into something entirely different: a place of reflection, sophistication, and warmth.
The Harbor Espresso bridges these two worlds. It’s a cocktail that delivers the awakening jolt of espresso with the smooth, contemplative depth of Funk Harbor Dark Rum. Kahlúa and crème de cacao add layers of coffee liqueur richness and chocolate sweetness, creating a sophisticated blend that’s equally at home as an after-dinner indulgence or a late-night pick-me-up. Cold brew espresso provides clean, intense coffee flavor without bitterness, allowing the rum’s complex character to shine through.
This is a drink for those who appreciate contrasts—the energy and the ease, the morning and the night, the bold and the refined. It’s proof that some of the best moments happen when opposites come together in perfect harmony.
Add Funk Harbor Dark Rum, Kahlúa, crème de cacao, and cold brew espresso to a mixing glass.
Fill the mixing glass with ice.
Stir gently but continuously for 15-30 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and properly diluted.
Strain into a chilled martini glass or coupe.
Optionally, garnish with three coffee beans floating on top, representing health, wealth, and happiness.
