Here's the recipe for crafting a Rémy Espresso Martini, a drink that combines the deep flavors of Rémy Martin cognac with the boldness of fresh espresso.
1 1/2 oz. Rémy Martin VSOP 1 oz. Espresso brewed and cooled 1/2 oz. Coffee liqueur 1/4 oz. Simple syrup adjust to taste 3 Coffee beans for garnish
Prepare the Espresso:
Brew a strong espresso and allow it to cool. This ensures your cocktail remains chilled and doesn't get watered down.
Mix the Cocktail:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Rémy Martin VSOP, cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.
Fill the shaker with ice if you want it cold.
Shake:
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This not only chills the drink but also creates a nice frothy top when poured.
Strain:
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. The aim is to have a smooth liquid with a frothy top.
Garnish:
Place three coffee beans on top of the froth for a classic espresso martini garnish. This adds a visual appeal and a hint of coffee aroma.
Serve:
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of rich cognac and bold espresso in your Rémy Espresso Martini.
