Tasting Notes

This Frozen S’mores Espresso Martini brings together rich coffee flavor, smooth vanilla, and the toasted sweetness of marshmallow in one icy drink. The cold brew foundation keeps it strong and focused, while the coffee liqueur adds depth. Toasted marshmallow syrup provides a gentle caramelized sugar note that’s matched by the chocolate and graham cracker rim. The blend finishes with a smooth chill and a whisper of smoke from toasted marshmallows. It’s dessert-like without being heavy, and the flavors are well-balanced coffee-forward with just enough sweetness to round it out. Each element plays its part in creating a drink that’s both bold and satisfying.

Equipment and Glassware

To prepare this Frozen S’mores Espresso Martini, you’ll need a few simple tools. An ice cube tray is essential for freezing the cold brew or espresso ahead of time. A blender is required to break down the frozen cubes into a smooth mixture. Use a jigger for accurate measurements, especially with spirits and syrups. A shallow plate helps coat the rim of the glass with crushed graham crackers, while chocolate sauce can be applied with a spoon or spatula. A coupe or martini glass makes an ideal vessel for serving. If desired, a kitchen torch adds a final touch to the marshmallow garnish.
