Recipe — Old Spike's Espresso Martini

In celebration of World Cocktail Day, we've created the best espresso martini recipe made with our lovely all-rounder, Arnhem.

Homemade espresso martinis are simple and easy to make, but when made well, are always the showstopper of any night or party. Alongside our recipe, we've also included some top tips for the best cocktail possible. 

Espresso Martini Tips

• You get out what you put in. Using high-quality, freshly brewed coffee will enhance the flavour and elevate your cocktail to new heights

• Chill your glassware. Serving your espresso martini in a chilled glass will help keep the drink cold and refreshing.

• Shake vigorously. A proper espresso martini should have a frothy, creamy texture. Shaking the drink vigorously with ice will help achieve this.
