Dani Does Coffee Espresso Martini

You know, coffee's fun and everything, but it's way more fun with alcohol. So I thought today I would show you four different espresso martinis that are going to blow your mind. Luckily, I have my own speakeasy that I can show you in. So let's start off easy with the classic espresso martini. Two shots of vodka. By the way, my shaker, it's already halfway full of ice. And this is two shots. This is one shot. Then we're going to go with a little one shot of espresso concentrate, DD Roasters, of course. And then finish it off with one shot of Borghetti Cafe Espresso. Some people use Kahlua. This is what I like. Don't yuck my yum. And then we're going to put its little hat on, give it a spank, and shake the absolute. I like to keep going until I can barely hold it. Yeah. Don't forget to strain it. More gracefully than me. And then you have your classic espresso martini. Cheers. The next take we have on an espresso martini is pretty wild. It has tequila in it. This is the Espresso Diablo, and we're going to start with tequila instead of vodka. Let's say one and a half ounces. Then we have an ounce of our espresso concentrate, DD Roasters, of course, as well as an ounce Borghetti. Now, if the tequila was not wild enough, ancho chili liqueur. You can also use cayenne and simple syrup if you don't have this, but oh yeah. Half an ounce. And finally, a quarter ounce of agave nectar for sweetness, and you know me. Give it a spank, two for good luck. Sometimes you have to spank it a little harder. That's cold. And then strainer, and this one's pretty, Espresso Diablo. What could go wrong? Mm-hmm. Oh yeah. Totally wouldn't have any regrets. It's warm at the end. It's got a nice finish. You know what? This would also be really good with a Mezcal. Cheers. So next up, we're going to make one of my personal favorite takes on an espresso martini, the Velvet Burn. Now, I love this because it has a smoky whiskey in it, but I'm going to get ahead of myself, so let's get started. One and a half ounces, vodka, one ounce of espresso concentrate, DD Roasters, of course, one ounce of Borghetti. Again, I like it better than Kahlua. Don't yuck my yum. Ooh, I almost spill that one every time. It's so slippery. Now this is where it gets fun. Half an ounce of Drambuie. Mm, that smells so good. Isla Sky Liqueur, a half an ounce, oh no, ooh, give me a spanking, a quarter ounce of a smoky whiskey. I'm going to use Ardbeg. It's from Isla, which is my favorite island in Scotland, and it's just so delicious, and it's got a big smoke. I love big smoke energy. I love, ooh, I got excited when I said that. Finally, a quarter ounce of hot honey. Now, I can measure this, but we all know one thing about me. After you give me a good shake, I'm a squirter. Now, give it a spank, and give it a shake. Oh yeah, ooh, it's cold. Ooh, and sometimes you just got to give it a little, show it who's boss. And hopefully, strainer, and the Velvet Burn. Mm, my favorite. Cheers. Mm, mm-hmm. And finally, we have what we call the Jolly Roaster. This one's made with rum. It's pretty good. One and a half ounces of an aged dark rum. Diplomatico is always my go-to. I'll drink this on a cube in the summertime, ooh. One ounce of concentrated espresso. Dee Dee Roasters, of course. The speed pourer and I do not get along. Half ounce of Borghetti. A half ounce of rum chata. Rum chata always looks so familiar to me. And finally, a half ounce of Mozart dark chocolate. Mm, this is so good. It's a liqueur, by the way. You know the drill. Give it a spank. It's the big finish. Lights it rough. Please open for me. Strain, mm-hmm. Oh yeah, the Jolly Roaster. Cheers, mm-hmm. Mm, so good. Now, some people like to put three beans on top. I like to flip the bean, but that's another story. Wealth, health, and happiness. And you can't spell happiness without penis. Cheers. Mm, which was your favorite? This one's pretty cool because it's made with. Ooh, ooh, I got it in the nose. I love, ooh.
