How to make a spiced espresso martini
Ingredients
- An orange segment
- 3tsp Golden caster sugar
- 1tsp Cinnamon
- 50ml Vodka a double measure
- 30ml Espresso strength coffee we used Perky Blenders Winter Blend
- 25ml Kahlua a single measure
- 2tsp Sugar syrup we used Monin Pure Sugar Cane Syrup
- 2 drops of mulling spice syrup we used Holy Lama Mulling Spice Spice Drops
- Handful of ice cubes
- Coffee beans to serve
Method
- STEP 1
First, prepare your glasses. Mix three teaspoons of sugar and one teaspoon of cinnamon together on a small plate or saucer. Then take an orange segment, make a small cut into the centre, and run the cut edge around the rim of your glass. Turn the glass inside down and swirl into the cinnamon sugar - the orange juice will make it stick to the rim. Set the prepared glasses aside.
- STEP 2
Half-fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in a double measure of vodka, a shot of espresso, and, a single measure of kahlua. Follow with 2 teaspoons of sugar syrup. Secure the lid, and shake for 10 seconds, or until the outside of the cocktail shaker feels really cold.
- STEP 3
Add two Spice Drops into the prepared glasses, then strain your cocktail over the top. Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon.
