Be sure to shake your cocktail vigorously before straining it into your glass. This will give your Salted Caramel Espresso Martini that beautiful, foamy texture on top, resulting in an eye-catching cocktail ready to be shared on social media. Before you take the lid off, tap the bottom of the shaker on your bar surface and swirl it in your hand to get rid of any last bubbles (you might have seen baristas do this with frothed milk).
Don’t forget that you can make this recipe using decaf coffee too, so you won’t be up all night. And if caffeine is part of the appeal, feel free to add more coffee to the mix, but remember this can affect the cocktail’s bitterness. We recommend playing around with the amount of coffee and syrup to find your perfect balance.
You can also switch up your garnishes, opting for coffee beans instead, or even chocolate or cinnamon powder, which can be used to create some amazing latte art, should a creative streak strrike. There are some great examples to be found online, but there’s nothing better – in our humble opinion – than a classic love heart.
