Espresso Martini Recipe

• 60 ml brewed coffee (espresso is preferable, but you can use whatever coffee you have available at home)

• 100 ml base spirit (vodka is the traditional base spirit but experiment with gin or rum)

• 40 ml simple sugar syrup (1:1 ratio of sugar and water – gently heat sugar and water in a pan until fully dissolved)

• 50 ml coffee liqueur (we’d recommend Mr Black but if you don’t have a coffee liqueur experiment with a sweet liqueur like Bailey’s instead )

• Good handful of ice

• Garnish – 3 coffee beans or chocolate powder
