Ingredients
Brown Sugar Syrup
- ¾ cup water
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Espresso Martini Mocktail
- 2 ounces chilled espresso
- 1 ½ ounces Seedlip Spice 45
- 1 ounce brown sugar syrup
Instructions
- Make the brown sugar syrup ahead of time by bringing the water and brown sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the syrup reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and allow the sugar to completely dissolve. Stir in the vanilla extract and chill the syrup in the refrigerator.
- Add the chilled espresso, Seedlip Spice 94, and brown sugar syrup to a cocktail shaker and fill the shaker about ⅔ full with ice. Vigorously shake the cocktail shaker back and forth using both hands for about 45 seconds.
- Strain the mocktail into a martini glass. Shake what's left in the cocktail shaker again for a few seconds and strain that into the glass to add more foam on top. This step is key in getting that thick foam layer that espresso martinis are known for!
- Garnish the espresso martini by placing three coffee or espresso beans on top and enjoy!
Notes
- For the best flavor and an impressive foam layer, your espresso martini must be made with fresh, good-quality espresso.
- Seedlip Spice 94 is a spiced non-alcoholic spirit that takes the place of vodka in this mocktail. You may omit this ingredient or substitute another non-alcoholic spirit or ½ ounce of heavy cream.
