Hi Lui, great to see you again doing a full length video. I do have an Espesso maker and my favourite, which may work just as well with Cold Brew Coffee, is the Boombox Espresso Martini. 40ml Irish Whiskey, 25ml Coffee Liqueur (Mr Blacks), 25ml Espresso, 10ml Maple Syrup. Shake with ice & double strain. It is frothy and lovely, more to it than the basic. Nick from York

Oh wow that sounds heavenly Nick! What a great recipe you shared. And thank you Nick! Yeah I've been struggling with ideas recently and was experimenting with some other things online but I'm trying to get back in the regular groove over here on KZbin again Thank you for being such a wonderful support!

Great idea to swap the vodka for rum! I've done my Espresso Martinis with rum for quite some time now and one of my favourite choices is the Coruba Carta Blanca - not expensive and works really well.

[@Lui_Fern]

Oh interesting! Glad you've given it a shot as well! I quite enjoy it with rum. I like the earthy taste to it!

Got this recipe from Drink Trade and it's gotta be my favorite espresso martini variation I've tried. Right up your alley! Bangarang Espresso Martini 1 oz silver cachaca 1 oz espresso 1/2 oz Amaro Averna 1/2 oz vanilla syrup 2 dashes chocolate bitters 2 dashes lavender bitters

[@Lui_Fern]

Hmmmmm yum! I love the idea of using Cachaca! thats right up my alley

An alternative to an expensive espresso machine is a Nespresso Vertuo. It makes excellent espresso and you can usually find it for

[@Lui_Fern]

Great shout! Thank you!

I love the idea of Rum. Curious how Myers would taste🤔

[@dravendrinks]

my girlfriend and I love kitchen gadgets which for me extends into bar gadgets and she just got an espresso machine cuz she's a caffeine addict. so fortunately I do have an espresso machine. these look sick gotta try the rum one.

[@Lui_Fern]

Oh good! I wish I had an espresso machine hahaha and yes please do give it a shot!

[@bobbarron1920]

Good ideas. I’m surprised you didn’t sub a blanco tequila. I’m sure you’re familiar with Patron XO coffee liqueur that has a tequila base. It’s very tasty.

[@Lui_Fern]

I am! I have a bottle at home but apparently patron discontinued it! That is a good idea as well. Haha thanks for the tip!

[@bobbarron1920]

@@Lui_Fern - that’s a bummer. I liked it better than Mr. Black. Guess I’ll have to go see if I can buy up some remnants.

[@Lui_Fern]

@@bobbarron1920 try St George's Coffee Liqueur. It's my personal favorite!

[@bobbarron1920]

@@Lui_Fern - I went to three liquor stores here in Ohio today and all of them had substantial stock of the Patron XO, so it must have been very recently discontinued. Unfortunately, St. George's is not available in Ohio and we are not allowed to have "spiritous liquors" shipped to our homes from out of state because of Ohio's liquor laws.

[@Lui_Fern]

@@bobbarron1920 oh no!! Well I'm happy you found patrol xo

[@jjmboston5832]

we may not have an expresso machine, but your restaurant does right ? So if we came by you'd make us a real one--not some knock off right. LOL. Just kidding. Not a huge coffee lover. But thanks for the vid. I may try the first one.

[@Lui_Fern]

We actually don't have an espresso machine here haha no space. The restaurant and bar are tight for space as it is. But yes! Give this one a shot!
