Hello, fellow cocktail enthusiasts!
Today, I'm excited to share a favorite recipe that's become my go-to when I'm looking for a refined, caffeinated treat: the Chromatic Espresso Martini. This cocktail elevates the classic Espresso Martini by incorporating Chroma Coffee Drops, a revelation in the world of coffee enthusiasts.
But first, let's answer the burning question on your mind: What are Chroma Coffee Drops?
Well, my friends, these innovative drops are specifically designed to reduce the acidity in your coffee. This not only makes the coffee easier on your stomach but also enhances the rich, natural flavors of the coffee. Adding Chroma Coffee Drops to your espresso before blending it into a cocktail brings about a smoother and more flavorful drinking experience, making your Espresso Martini simply exceptional.
Now, let's get mixing, shall we?
Chromatic Espresso Martini Recipe
Ingredients:
50ml vodka
30ml freshly made espresso
20ml coffee liqueur (Kahlua or Tia Maria)
10ml simple syrup
Ice cubes
2 drops of Chroma Coffee Drops
Coffee beans (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare your espresso. Start by making a fresh shot of espresso. It's important that the espresso is fresh and strong to give your cocktail that real coffee kick.
Add Chroma Coffee Drops. While the espresso is still hot, add 2 drops of Chroma Coffee Drops. This helps to reduce the acidity, bringing out the more subtle flavors of the espresso. Give it a stir to ensure the drops are fully incorporated.
Combine your ingredients. In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, the espresso (with Chroma Coffee Drops), coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.
Shake it up. Fill your shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds. You're looking for the ingredients to be well combined and chilled, and for a nice frothy top to form.
Strain and serve. Strain your cocktail into a chilled martini glass. The goal here is to have that beautiful, thick crema on top - the hallmark of a good Espresso Martini.
Garnish and enjoy. Finally, garnish your drink with a few coffee beans on top for that extra touch. Now, you're ready to enjoy your sophisticated and incredibly delicious Chromatic Espresso Martini.
A Few Notes:
Remember, quality ingredients make a quality cocktail. Choose a vodka you enjoy, and the same goes for the coffee liqueur. As for the espresso, choose a good quality, freshly ground coffee for the best results.
Experimenting with flavors can also be fun. Try different types of coffee beans for the espresso or different brands of coffee liqueurs to see how the flavors can change.
But the true game-changer here is the Chroma Coffee Drops. With just two drops, you get to enjoy an Espresso Martini that is smoother and more balanced than ever before.
So, there you have it, the Chromatic Espresso Martini, a cocktail that's as sophisticated and vibrant as you are. Enjoy!
Until next time, keep shaking, stirring, and sipping!
Cheers!
