Twisted Espresso Martini
A bold twist on a classic espresso cocktail. Cold-brew coffee swapped for chilled espresso shot. Coffee liqueur replaced with amaretto to add a nutty depth. Vodka quantity trimmed, simple syrup adjusted for balance. Shaken till frothy with ice, strained carefully. Garnished with star anise for a fragrant finish. Kickstarts your senses with a bitter-sweet punch. Perfectly balanced sugar and coffee bitterness. Watch the froth rise when shaken right. Smooth texture, little sweetness, slight almond aroma plays well with vodka’s neutral bite. Coffee beans swapped to star anise bring an unexpected aromatic pop for sipping complexity.
Coconut Nutmeg Latte Twist
A twist on the classic café au lait using reduced coconut milk and infused with cardamom and nutmeg. Slightly less sugar balances the drink. Espresso shots are shorter, resembling ristretto. Froth the coconut milk with an immersion blender or manual frother. Sprinkle fresh nutmeg and a pinch of ground cardamom over the foam. Creamy, aromatic, dairy-free, and gluten-free. Ready in about 15 minutes for six cups. Pairs well with spiced pecan scones but try ginger snaps or almond biscotti for contrast.
