Tips & Tricks Making a Espresso Martini

• Add the sugar syrup to taste - this will ensure good balance with the bitterness of the coffee you're using.
• Prepare the espresso coffee in advance & allow to cool naturally. Because it is slightly acidic, espresso coffee can be prepared in advance & stored in a refrigerator for a number of days.
• Do not add ice to hot coffee if you can avoid it. Adding ice to hot coffee makes the coffee very bitter - as cold-brew coffee aficionados will tell you.
