Espresso martini: the liquid version of a power nap. ☕🍸  🍸 Espresso Martini Glass: Chilled martini glass 🍹 Ingredients: Vodka: 45 ml Coffee Liqueur: 30 ml Freshly Brewed Espresso: 30 ml, cooled Simple Syrup: 10 ml (optional, adjust depending on the sweetness of your coffee liqueur and personal preference) 🔧 Methods: Mix: In a shaker, combine 45 ml vodka, 30 ml coffee liqueur, 30 ml freshly brewed espresso, and 5 ml simple syrup (if using). Shake: Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously. This not only chills the drink but also ensures a nice frothy top from the espresso. Strain: Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass to keep out the ice and enhance the frothy top. Garnish: Garnish with three coffee beans in the centre of the froth for traditional presentation and added aroma.

In addition to reviewing spirits, I also review RTD cocktails for Wine Enthusiast. The last batch included a line-up of RTD espresso martinis - and the instructions were surprisingly confusing (hello, how do you "squeeze" a canned cocktail?). Here's my WE story unraveling why pre-mixed espresso martinis are different from other RTD drink styles. https://lnkd.in/gHDa9g28

Crafting Espresso with a Moka Pot: A Flavorful Alternative While the Moka pot is often hailed as a stovetop espresso maker, it produces a beverage that diverges from true espresso. Unlike espresso machines with high-pressure pumps, the Moka pot relies on steam pressure to brew coffee, resulting in a concentrated and flavorful drink reminiscent of espresso, albeit without the characteristic crema. Despite this distinction, the Moka pot offers a simple and cost-effective means for coffee enthusiasts to enjoy espresso-like coffee at home. Concerns about over-extraction and burnt flavors can be mitigated with careful attention and practice. 👉Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJ-TZwdn ------------------------------------ 🤳 Contact Anna: +84 886.797.175 (WhatsApp/ Zalo) 📩 Email: [email protected] #helenacoffee.vn #coffee #coffee_supplier #cofee_enthusiast

Ask for a long black in a coffee shop and you’ll get something that might look similar to an americano at first glance. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll realise there’s a difference. Just like the americano, the long black is an espresso-based drink. The ingredients are the same in both: espresso and hot water. The difference, however, is in the preparation. Here’s what a long black is, what makes it unique, and how to make one. There are several key differences between an americano and a long black, especially regarding how baristas mix hot water with espresso: To make an americano, baristas pour hot water over espresso For a long black the opposite is true – so baristas add espresso to hot water This helps the drink to retain more crema, more than it usually would for an americano Typically, baristas also prepare a long black with less water than an americano. It is therefore more concentrated, meaning that the flavour of the espresso is more pronounced. It should not be mistaken for a lungo, #longblackcoffee #specialtycoffee #keepitlongblack

GM frens! Blessed that our #swisslathes run "lights out" 24x7 giving customers Chynuh busting low prices, so I can enjoy a cigar & espresso this Sunday morning!⚙️☕️🔥🤓 #nerdlife When it comes to pairing beverages with a fine cigar, the cigar enthusiast has a plethora of choices—beer, cola, coffee, tea, water, wine, and whiskey. But there is one beverage that will enhance the flavors of finely-aged tobaccos without overpowering them. That beverage is espresso. With its primary notes of chocolate, flowers, fruits, and toasted bread—along with just a touch of acidity and bitterness—an espresso complements and enhances the traditional flavors and aromas of practically every type of cigar. As with most beverage and cigar pairings, the most common “rule of thumb” is to match the color of the two. While this rule can be applied to cigars and espresso, there are some caveats. Strength, flavor, and the body of the beverage all play a role and the three are nearly identical to the main descriptors for premium cigars. The overall strength and body of the espresso should not compete with the cigar and, assuming you are looking for a nice complement to your smoking experience (and not the other way around), the beverage should be of the same intensity as the vitola’s blend. For example, a full-bodied cigar warrants a full-bodied espresso. But even the smoker of milder cigars has no need to shy away from this stimulating pairing, since—contrary to popular belief—lightly roasted coffee blends may be used to prepare an espresso to match the subtleness of a Connecticut vitola. Traditional “espresso roast” coffees can be used to pull a bolder shot to complement a cigar blend composed with a Mexican San Andres wrapper. The possibilities are endless. #engineering #cnc #manufacturing #automation #espresso #coffee #cigars

Whether a martini is dry or wet, classic gin or with made vodka, on the rocks or straight up, it is an enduring classic. Dirty martinis, espresso martinis, creative garnishes have added a bit of variety to what is basically a very simple recipe: gin and dry vermouth served chilled in a coupe or a cocktail glass with an olive or a twist. How do you drink your martini?   #BeverageBusiness #BusinessGrowth #Rebranding #ConsultingServices #BeverageIndustry
