MASTERING THE ART OF ESPRESSO MARTINIS WITH WELCH COFFEE CO

Welcome, coffee enthusiasts and cocktail aficionados, to the world of indulgence where two beloved beverages collide—the Espresso Martini. At Welch Coffee Co, we believe in the art of crafting the perfect cup, whether it’s your morning brew or an evening cocktail. Today, we embark on a journey to elevate your mixology skills and create the ultimate Espresso Martini that will tantalize your taste buds and leave your guests asking for more.

The Foundation: Exceptional Espresso

To kick off our espresso martini adventure, start with the heart of the drink—the espresso. Welch Coffee Co. takes pride in sourcing premium coffee beans, ensuring a rich and robust flavor profile. Begin by brewing a strong shot of espresso using your favorite Welch coffee blend, focusing on quality and freshness to enhance the overall experience.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 ounces premium vodka
• 1 ounce coffee liqueur
• 1 ounce freshly brewed Welch Coffee Co espresso
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup
• Ice cubes

The Method: Shake and Stir

1. Prepare the Espresso: Brew a shot of Welch Coffee Co espresso and let it cool to room temperature. This step ensures that the heat from the espresso won’t dilute the cocktail when combined with the other ingredients.
2. Chill Your Glass: Place your martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail. A chilled glass enhances the overall experience.
3. Prepare the Cocktail Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. This not only cools the ingredients but also helps create that signature frothiness in your Espresso Martini.
4. Combine the Ingredients: Pour the vodka, coffee liqueur, freshly brewed espresso, and simple syrup into the cocktail shaker. The combination of premium vodka and coffee liqueur complements the boldness of Welch Coffee Co espresso.
5. Shake with Precision: Seal the shaker and shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. The goal is to achieve a beautiful frothiness and to perfectly meld the flavors.
6. Strain into the Glass: Discard the ice from the martini glass and strain the shaken mixture into it. Watch as the velvety liquid fills the glass, leaving a tantalizing layer of foam on top.
7. Garnish and Enjoy: For a finishing touch, garnish your Espresso Martini with a few coffee beans on top of the foam. This not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the aromatic experience.
