Discover the perfect blend of espresso and rum in an Espresso Rumtini. Simple, bold, and utterly satisfying.
- 2 ounces dark rum
- 1 ounce espresso freshly brewed and cooled
- 1/2 ounce coffee liqueur
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup adjust to taste
- Coffee beans or grated chocolate for garnish
Chill Your Glass:
Start by placing your martini glass in the freezer to chill. A cold glass will keep your Espresso Rumtini crisp.
Brew Espresso:
Brew a strong shot of espresso and allow it to cool. This will be the base of your cocktail, offering a robust coffee flavor.
Mix the Drink:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the dark rum, cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.
Add ice if desired.
Shake It Up:
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds. Shaking not only chills the drink but also introduces a slight frothiness.
Strain and Serve:
Strain the mixture into your chilled martini glass. The fine strain will ensure a smooth drink without ice chips.
Garnish and Enjoy:
Garnish your Espresso Rumtini with a few coffee beans or a sprinkle of grated chocolate on top for an added touch of elegance.
