Festive Drambuie
ESPRESSO MARTINI
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FESTIVE
TWIST ON THE CLASSIC AND
POPULAR CAFFEINATED
COCKTAIL, THE ESPRESSO
MARTINI. CREATE THE PERFECT
CREMA AND REPLACE THE
TRADITIONAL THREE ESPRESSO
BEANS WITH A FESTIVE
SNOWFLAKE AND SPARKLES
TO WOW YOUR GUESTS WITH
A MEMORABLE AFTER DINNER
TREAT.
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS:
25 ml Drambuie liqueur
25 ml Whisky (e.g. Monkey Shoulder)
50ml Espresso
Lots of ice
5ml Vanilla syrup (optional)
DECORATION:
White edible cake glitter
White sugar crystal rocks, crushed
Liquid glucose, honey or golden syrup
Cocoa powder
Snowflake stencil
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Mix a little of the edible cake glitter with
the crushed sugar crystal rocks and place
on a small plate.
Use your finger or a brush to carefully coat
the rim of the glass with the liquid glucose
or egg white, then dip into the glittery
sugar medley.
For the perfect Crema, pour all ingredients
without ice, into a cocktail shaker or
equivalent (a jam jar will do), and shake
vigorously, then add lots of ice to the
shaker, and shake again. This will create
the perfect foam before pouring into a
chilled martini glass.
For the final flourish, set a snowflake
stencil over the top of the glass and gently
dust over the cocoa powder using a small
fine tea strainer or sieve.
Serve immediately.
