Espresso Martini

Mojito

Method

Classic Margarita

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Dip the rim into coarse salt to coat. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz orange liqueur, 0.5 oz agave syrup and a handful of ice cubes. Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Double-strain (optional) into the prepared glass over fresh ice or serve neat in a coupe. Garnish with a lime wedge. Taste and adjust sweetness with a dash more agave if needed.

Old Fashioned

  1. 4

    Build drink

    Place 0.25 oz simple or demerara syrup in an old-fashioned glass. Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters and a splash (about 0.25 oz) of water if desired. Add 2 oz bourbon or rye.

  2. 5

    Stir and garnish

    Add one large ice cube and stir gently for 20–30 seconds until slightly diluted and chilled. Express the orange peel over the glass to release oils, run the peel around the rim, then drop it in as garnish.

Gin & Tonic

  1. 6

    Assemble

    Fill a highball or copa glass with ice cubes. Pour 2 oz gin over the ice, then slowly add 4 oz chilled tonic water to preserve carbonation.

  2. 7

    Finish

    Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine. Squeeze a lime wedge over the drink, drop it in as garnish, and serve immediately.

Espresso Martini

  1. 8

    Prepare espresso

    Brew 1 oz of fresh espresso. Let it cool slightly (or use freshly brewed hot espresso if you prefer a more diluted shake).

  2. 9

    Shake

    Fill a shaker with ice. Add 1.5 oz vodka, 1 oz coffee liqueur, 1 oz espresso, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional). Shake very hard for 15–20 seconds to create a frothy crema.

  3. 10

    Strain and garnish

    Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with 3 coffee beans laid on top of the crema.

Mojito

  1. 11

    Muddle mint

    In a tall glass or julep tin, add 10 fresh mint leaves, 0.75 oz simple syrup (or 0.75 oz sugar and a splash of lime juice to help dissolve), and 0.75 oz fresh lime juice. Gently muddle the mint 6–8 times — press to release oils but avoid tearing the leaves into bits.

  2. 12

    Add rum and ice

    Add 2 oz white rum. Fill the glass with crushed ice (or regular ice if unavailable).

  3. 13

    Top and garnish

    Top with about 2 oz club soda and gently stir once to combine. Garnish with a lime wheel and a small sprig of mint. Serve with a straw and enjoy.
