Espresso Martini /Espresso Freddo
Our two favourite drinks when the mood feels right.
Espresso Martini-for those social occasions
Espresso Freddo- the Greek iced coffee, ideal for those warm days and evenings.
Espresso Martini
A great excuse to get the coffee machine out in the evening.
A small amount of brown castor sugar dissolved in boiling water (allow to cool a little)
(or you can just drop a 1/2 teaspoon into the coffee to dissolve)
For the cocktail
ice
100ml vodka
50ml freshly brewed espresso coffee
50ml coffee liqueur (I use Kahlua or sometimes I use a tequila based coffee liqueur)
4 coffee beans (optional to place on the top at the end)
1. Make the espresso
2. Mix all the ingredients above into a cocktail shaker or equivalent and shake for 30 seconds (sometimes i use a ninja blender!)
Pour into cocktail glasses- place the beans on top.
Drink and enjoy!
