So I am back after a long holiday in Thailand and Australia - you can view some photos of my shaking efforts in the Southern hemisphere here. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years with lots of palette stimulating treats. We will kick of 2007 with a winter favorite in Copenhagen - the Espresso Martini.

It is the connoisseur’s after dinner cocktail, another modern classic which is getting popular around the world and has great versatility. The spirit ingredient can vary, I use vodka in the episode but tequila, bourbon and scotch can also work well with the coffee. One recent favourite of mine is using Vanilla pod infused Buffalo Trace whiskey. Any coffee lover will love this drink and is an excellent alternative to the (dreaded) Irish Coffee.

In a mixing glass add one fresh espresso shot, vodka or main spirit of your choice, coffee liquer (I use Borghetti and Kahlua), Crème de Cacao or sugar syrup with a dash of mint juice (optional). Add ice and give the mixture a hard shake to develop the wonderful foam texture. Double strain into a pre chilled cocktail glass and garnish with three coffee beans.

Recipe:
3 cl Vodka

1 epsresso shot (1.5 cl)

2 cl Kahlua Coffee Liquer

1 cl Borghett Espresso Liquer

1 cl Crème de Cacao

Dash of Søbergaard Mint Juice
