The espresso martini is having a moment, and no wonder: With its rich taste and deep color, coffee is a natural ingredient for irresistible cocktails. In this live virtual experience with expert mixologist Tamu Curtis, you’ll use espresso to craft three luscious mixed drinks, learn how to infuse spirits with coffee flavors, and explore the cultural inspirations behind these caffeinated creations.
- Before class, you’ll prepare two flavored infusions using your Espresso Martini Gift Set (see "Comes with the class," below): the classic, with vodka, and the carda-martini, with reposado tequila.
- In class, you'll make the third infusion together: the cocoa, with reposado tequila or bourbon (your choice!).
- Next, Tamu will guide you in the crafting of three cocktails:
- The classic espresso martini, made with vodka.
- A beautifully layered espresso tequila mule infused with heady spices.
- Finally, a cocoa espresso old-fashioned enriched by the classic pairing of coffee and chocolate, with a twist of orange to complement the flavor of both.
- You’ll discover cultural influences behind each cocktail, such as Latin cuisine's traditional pairing of coffee and cinnamon and the European custom of adding a hint of citrus to espresso.
- Learn how to tailor drinks to your personal taste by experimenting with different infusion blends and understanding how the ingredients contribute to cocktail complexity.
Class length: 75 minutes.
