My twist is the De-Stresso martini, using Quirky Monkey Royal Reishi-Me mushroom coffee fusion. I love this for its unique combination of caffeine and alcohol. The espresso provides a unique, rich flavour that pairs well with the vodka and coffee liqueur, while the caffeine gives the drink an extra kick. The frothy texture created by shaking the ingredients together gives the drink a luxurious feel. It makes it a fun cocktail to serve at parties or enjoy as a special treat. Overall, the espresso martini is a delicious and sophisticated drink that will please coffee and cocktail lovers alike.
To make an espresso martini, you’ll need:
– 50ml vodka
