The Espresso Martini That Got Dark
This July, we’re shaking things up with something bold, bitter, and delicsous. Say hello to The Dead Ringer — a cocktail that takes your classic espresso martini and lets it fall headfirst into the world of amaro.
If you love your cocktails complex, aromatic, and strong enough to match your late-night thoughts, this one’s for you.
A Little History on the Flip Side
The espresso martini has long been the go-to for late nights and fancy brunches. But what happens when that espresso martini grows up, starts reading philosophy? You get The Dead Ringer — a layered cocktail that blends the familiar kick of coffee with the herbal bitterness of amaro.
How to Make It
You’ll find the full recipe card and step-by-step video tutorial in your box, but here’s a taste of what’s inside:
- 30ml Three Foxes Organic Coffee Amaro
- 30ml Ragazzi e Succo Amaro
- 40ml Coffee
- 5 ml Simple Syrup
Shake hard over ice, strain into a chilled rocks or coupe glass, and finish with a spritz of Imperial Measures Auvert across the top.
Make It Your Own
Want to play with the vibe?
- Brighten it up with a twist of orange peel to highlight those citrus top notes.
- Go deeper: Swap cold press for a short double shot of espresso and lean right into that bitter edge.
