Cognac Espresso Martini
Brandy adds its distinctive character to the contemporary classic Espresso Martini

I'm not intimately attuned to all of your tastes. I like bold, bitter, roasty, etc etc with my coffee Martinis... My recommendation when using Pierre Ferrand and Mr. Black is to reduce the sugar syrup to 7.5 ml. You will thank me.

Brilliant, Nutty Cognac makes a harmony with espresso.
Best cocktail for me followed by ramos gin fizz.

Chuck the Vodka out. This is the EM variation you need

My EM ranking is ....
1. Aged Grappa
2. Cognac
3. Brandy
4. Young grappa
I'd simply get a different drink if the vodka version is the only option.

30ml black coffee (V60, Booths Black) 40ml brandy (Carlos I)
10ml chocolate liqueur Slice of orange flesh. Splash agave syrup.
Splash aquafaba and a few drops of Fees Foam (ie anything foamy)
All into Nutribullet. Add two ice cubes, leave one minute. Remove one cube then zizz up
Into frozen coupe glass (Martini glass too small).
Really good. Quite Christmas-y. Foamed very well. Isn’t the standard EM too coffee-y? This has Nuance.
