The Espresso Chiaroscuro Sour is a sophisticated blend that combines the deep, rich tones of Ethiopian Oroma Espresso with a bright and tangy lemon juice, smoothened by a sweet hint of simple syrup and topped with a frothy, cloud-like texture from egg white. This cocktail is a visual and gustatory play of light and shadow, much like its namesake art style, Chiaroscuro.
