A Personal Fave: An Espresso Martini
The traditional vodka martini is ~delicious~ however, we urge you to try one of ours! So easy to ask your local bartender to create or for you to make at home with the right ingredients. Don’t knock it til ya try it ☕️
For our recipe, we use 3oz reposado tequila, 1oz kahlua, 2oz freshly brewed espresso, and about .5oz of simple syrup. (You can omit the simple if you don’t like it sweet!). If you like cream, we would sub out the simple with your cream of choice. All of these ingredients are put into a shaker and then KEY - do a few dry shakes (no ice). Add a handful of rocks to your shaker and shake like crazy. When your hands are freezing, you’re still not done. Keep shaking! The more you shake, the frothier it will get! After about a minute, you should be able to strain into your martini/coupe glass! Keep shaking all the foam out and garnish with 3 espresso beans (traditionally for health, wealth and happiness) 🫘
The two most important steps in making an espresso martini is to 1) use real espresso and 2) shake it like a Polaroid picture. The longer you shake, the more froth you get. It’s science 🤷🏻♀️
I promise - an espresso martini with tequila completely compliments the flavor profile and is absolutely amazing. However, if you prefer vodka - we recommend using a vanilla vodka and omitting the simple syrup 🥰
