Here is the ingredient list:

2 oz. of Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka, Van Gogh has a single espresso Vodka too, get the Double Espresso

1/2 oz. of Quarente Tres or LICOR 43, this is the #1 liqueur from Spain, 43 herbs and fruit extracts that pair perfectly with espresso

1/2 oz. of White Chocolate Godiva, need I say more, alcohol and decadent Godiva chocolate combined
