“drink after dinner”
Thanks to its rebirth, the Espresso Martini is now a classic. Born from the request for a blend capable of "awakening" all the senses, legendary bartender Dick Bradsell created it in 1983. The ingredients are simple: coffee, vodka and sugar syrup. Simple but powerful.
Ingredients:
Vodka 5cl
Coffee liquor 1cl
Sugar syrup 0,5cl
Espresso 1 cup
Tools: 1 jigger, 1 strainer, 1 shaker, 1 Martini glass
How to prepare
- Start by placing some ice cubes in the martini glass
- prepare the espresso coffee and let it cool
- place 4 ice cubes in the shaker, pour in the vodka, coffee liqueur, sugar syrup and the cup of coffee with jigger
- close the shaker and shake it vigorously for 10 seconds.
- remove the ice from the now frozen cup and pour the drink by filtering it with the strainer or with a fine mesh strainer
- garnish with three coffee beans, arranging them in the shape of a petal
Dishes: chocolate or intensely flavored desserts, the trifle ( zuppa inglese), typical of the Italian tradition, but also with the mud cake, an American chocolate dessert covered with a dark chocolate icing
