LIVIO!!! Awesome class!!! I love Mr. Black!! This was a great cocktail to test out the other liqueurs. I love a White Russian, so I def added a smidge of sugar, and rolled with it!! Green Chartreuse infused cream coming soon!!! CHEERS to you my brother!!!
As always, well done Livio! Very useful and informative. I only wish you had included the great St George NOLA expression, as I'd really like to know how it stacks up side by side. Oh well, va tutto bene.
I've heard the St. George NOLA is excellent as well. Tempus Fugit also has a coffee liqueur that I think is up there with the best of them as far as Espresso Martinis go.
This is a terrific video. A lot of people don't realize how important the coffee liqueur is in an espresso martini. I have a 5 ingredient espresso martini, with Bacardi white label (almost a vodka?) instead of vodka, which I make with Kahlua. But I personally prefer a standard vodka-coffee liqueur-espresso version of the drink, made with Mr. Black. I think that's because I prefer my coffee black and without sugar, where my 5-ingredient version is better for people who like their coffee sweet. I have Grind on hand, but I've found it to leave a noticeable ethanol taste in an espresso martini. After seeing this video, I'm going to play around with Grind a little more because I'd love to be able to use it to produce something I'm really happy with.
Glad you enjoyed and happy to find out how your further experiments go. I say Bacardi is almost a vodka simply because it is the most neutral rum I have ever tasted. Not a bad thing, just a characteristic in my opinion. Cheers and thanks for watching!
@@MasterYourGlass If you ever do rums for daiquiris (or maybe you have, I'm new here), you might want to include Brugal Supremo white rum from the Dominican Republic. It tastes like what I imagine a Cuban rum would have tasted like in the 1890s.
I've been drinking expresso Martini for years, based on complete ignorance I thought it was made with Vermouth, hence Martini Vermouth , as I also drink Vermouth aswell. Great video, enlightened. Regards Rob.
Thanks For commenting Rob! So glad you enjoyed. Yeah, no vermouth in it which is why the creator of the drink never intended for it to be called espresso martini, but as time passed the drink evolved and was assigned that name.
This is right up my alley! I could sit around and drink these all day. Reminds me that I need to buy some first, lol. Perfect video and presentation, love this!
