Grappa Espresso Martini
Grappa is made to go with espresso coffee and adds its distinctive flavour to this cocktail originally made with vodka

The same recipe as an Espresso Martini (Diffords), but with grappa in place of vodka. A medium dark brown, very cloudy and barely translucent, with a tight, fine tan head that is surprisingly persisitent. Absolutely delicious espresso flavor, moderately sweet. I'll take this over a vodka base espresso martini! I used a ristretto shot to get the 30 ml.

With an Espresso Martini, the almost impossible decision is to go with Cognac or Grappa. This one benefits from a looong shake to get a lovely foamy head.

Would you go for a ristretto concentrated espresso shot or a weaker lungo espresso? Will the grappa still come through with a concentrated espresso shot?

Grappa has a robust flavour so I'd say, depending on your coffee and roast, that concentrated shot should be fine.

Does it need to be Moscato grappa specifically or can it be a different kind of grappa like Cividina or Euganea here?

Moscato grappa is my own favourite as so aromatic but other grappas will be their own character to this cocktail.
