1. Espresso Martini

The Espresso Martini is a classic cocktail that combines the bold flavours of coffee with the smoothness of vodka. In a shaker, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, fres
hly brewed espresso (cooled), and a dash of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a few coffee beans. Sip on this sophisticated blend, which effortlessly marries the worlds of caffeine and cocktails.

2. Coffee Old Fashioned

Give the classic Old Fashioned a caffeinated twist with a hit of high quality caffeine. In a mixing glass, muddle a sugar cube with a few dashes of aromatic bitters. Add a shot of bourbon or whiskey and a shot of freshly brewed and cooled coffee. Fill the glass with ice and stir gently until well mixed and chilled. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a twist of orange peel or a coffee bean. Indulge in the delicious fusion of smoky whiskey and the deep, complex flavours.

3. Irish Coffee Flip

For a cozy and indulgent cocktail, try the Irish Coffee Flip. In a shaker, combine Irish whiskey, freshly brewed and cooled coffee, a teaspoon of brown sugar, a whole egg, and a touch of vanilla extract. Shake vigorously without ice to emulsify the egg. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled. Strain the mixture into a glass and grate a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. Delicious!
