Espresso Martini is an elegant cocktail that combines an intense coffee aroma with delicate sweetness and a dry character. Although it is associated mainly with cocktail bars, it can easily be prepared at home.
Recipe for an Espresso Martini cocktail
Preparing the alcohol base with essence:
- Pour 4 liters of high-proof spirit into a container.
- Add Espresso-flavored essence.
- Stir well.
- Set the drink aside for at least 24 hours so the flavors can meld (for the best flavor and aroma, we recommend waiting 7 days).
- Tip: When preparing a smaller batch, use the indentations on the essence bottle to easily measure the proportions - 10 ml of essence per 1 liter of alcohol.
Preparing the cocktail:
- Add ice cubes to the shaker.
Tip: Instead of a cocktail shaker, you can use a regular jar. To get a thicker foam, you can shake the cocktail twice - first with ice, then without.
- Pour in the measured portion of the previously prepared alcohol base and the sugar/vanilla syrup.
- Add freshly brewed espresso.
- Shake vigorously to obtain the characteristic, creamy foam.
- Strain the cocktail through a strainer into a chilled glass.
- You can garnish the drink with a few coffee beans or grated dark chocolate and serve immediately.
Enjoy! ...because homemade is better!
