Homemade vanilla and honey simple syrup, mixed with the classic martini table martini ingredients of vodka, Kahlúa, and a shot of espresso.
This is the perfect subtle twist on the classic espresso martini cocktail, and it’s a delicious holiday treat to cap the night with. When I was dreaming up the last cocktail Saturday before Thanksgiving, I knew I wanted it to be the perfect after-dinner drink to officially welcome the start of the holiday season. My first thought was a new twist on a White Russian. I love a White Russian more than you know. It’s been a favorite cocktail ever since I created my The North Pole Cocktail a few years back.
Yes, White Russians are great, but I’ve shared a few, and I wanted to try something new. Maybe something I wasn’t even thinking of. So, I put the feelers out to my family. My cousin Maggie came back immediately with an espresso martini.
