A rich and indulgent espresso martini. The brandy base is rich and warming, the amaro adds another layer of subtle bittersweet complexity and of course you need a good espresso of your choice to make it all work.

This time with a French XO brandy, Cynar 70, qsand hot mocha pot 'espresso'. Still excellent. Next time will chill the coffee first for less ice melt and try a different amaro. Salud.

Rich and delicious! Made with Darvelle Freres V.S.O.P. brandy, Cocchi Dopo Teatro vermouth amaro, and freshly ground coffee brewed in a moka pot. Excellent! ♡
