I started this product earlier this year for events and in response to customers asking for a more coffee forward expression, which got me thinking about how I like my Espresso Martini.
I decided to create one that was to my own personal taste and came up with this. A different mix of our artisan Vodka, a different mix of Kahlua and Tia Maria with a whole lot more dark roast coffee.
AND NO ADDED SUGAR! It’s always bemused me why people add sugar to any Espresso Martini and I have to conclude it must be to mask inferior ingredients with overwhelming sweetness.
Not needed at Fat Adam’s, I can assure you.
What became apparent at the various events we ran in 2024 was that there is a real divide on the Espresso Martini’s I have made.
The standard mix is far more preferred by those under the age of 30 and this, new range is overwhelmingly preferred by those over 35. If you are in the middle, well, I call that the borderlands!
I suppose it makes senses as I am over 35, so making a drink that is for my palate would create a drink more attractive to the more sophisticated of us, shall I say?
So if you want to try an Espresso Martini that packs a powerful coffee punch with less booze, this is for you!
