Review

Turkish and Arabic coffee is made with lightly roasted coffee beans that are very finely ground and boiled in water, usually with a little sugar, in a special pot called cezve in Turkey or ibrik elsewhere. It is sometimes flavoured with some cardamom and this vodka-based coffee cocktail harnesses the aromatic eucalyptus and citrus notes of this spice.

If you have lots of time, crush the cardamom and allow to infuse in the hot coffee for 1-2 minutes.

Yes, however we steep the pods in the vodka. And yes also, we give the pods a bit of a working over in a mortar and pestle initially. A delightfully aromatic and gentle espresso martini.

I didn't try like this but I definitely do it
