Damn Fine Espresso Martini

A complex but delicate take on the Espresso Martini.

This boldly flavored cocktail is not the Espresso Martini recipe to which you may be accustomed. At Cane & Table in New Orleans, bartender Jordan Bearss approaches the drink from a culinary mindset, using coffee to emphasize the cocoa undertones of fernet, while the spiced rum and Grand Marnier balance the bitterness, and orgeat adds a nutty sweetness. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Cajun cooking, it’s that a whole mess of strong flavors can come together to create something that is both complex and delicate,” says Bearss.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. spiced rum
  • 1 oz. cold-brew concentrate
  • 1/2 oz. Fernet-Branca
  • 1/2 oz. Grand Marnier
  • 1/4 oz. orgeat
  • Glass:shaker, strainer
  • Garnish:coupe

Preparation

Shake all of the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe.
