Tips for Making the Best Espresso Martini
Here are a few tips to help you get the best results:
- Get your glasses in the freezer or fridge before, so they are nice and cold when your making the espresso martini’s.
- Shake longer than you think and as hard as possible to get that creamy froth on top.
- Use plenty of ice to chill the drink quickly and evenly.
- Garnish with whole coffee beans for a polished and elegant finish.
How to Make an Espresso Martini Cocktail
Making an Espresso Martini at home couldn’t be easier. Start by giving the Good George Espresso Martini bottle a good shake. Pour the required amount into a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and frothy. Strain into a chilled martini glass and, if you like, top it off with a few coffee beans.
How Do You Get a Frothy Espresso Martini?
The secret to a frothy Espresso Martini is all in the shake. Use a solid cocktail shaker and shake with energy. You do not need any fancy tools, just a bit of effort and enthusiasm. If you haven’t got a cocktail shaker then you can use a good old mason jar or a protein shaker.
