History
The Gingerbread Espresso Martini is a seasonal twist on the classic Espresso Martini, which originated in the 1980s. The original cocktail was created by bartender Dick Bradsell at the Soho Brasserie in London. It combines vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup, designed to be a pick-me-up.
The Gingerbread Espresso Martini likely emerged as a festive variation, incorporating flavours associated with Christmas baking, such as gingerbread spices (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg) and sometimes even a hint of molasses or brown sugar. This version captures the cosy, warm essence of winter, making it popular during the festive season.
While the exact origin of the Gingerbread Espresso Martini is unclear, it reflects the trend of reimagining classic cocktails with seasonal ingredients, appealing to both coffee lovers and those seeking a festive drink.
Ingredients
• Premium Vodka: A smooth, high-quality vodka forms the base. We use multi award winning Holy Grass vodka.
• Coffee: high quality arabica coffee
• Coffee liqueur: Kahlúa, a popular coffee liqueur known for its distinctive coffee taste with hints of caramel and chocolate.
• Gingerbread syrup: Monin syrup, made with natural ingredients, this syrup captures the warm, spicy flavours associated with gingerbread cookies
We pride ourselves in using natural ingredients only. No artificial flavours or preservatives are used.
Serving suggestions
• Choose the right glass: an Espresso Martini can be served in anything with a wide, open bowl and a long stem. So you can choose a classic martini glass, a long stemmed coupe, or a more vintage bowl style if you’d prefer.
· Pour 100 ml of our Gingerbread Espresso Martini into a shaker
· Shake with ice: to get the famous signature foaming head, you'll need to shake the mix, ideally over ice. Shaking over a few ice cubes is preferable, to give the cocktail some agitation to generate better foam, while bringing the drink down to a cold temperature.
· Garnish: the classic garnish is to create the foaming head, and then place coffee beans on top, for the aroma. Add a sprinkle of your favourite chocolate or some whipped cream if you’re feeling indulgent!
· Enjoy: Serve immediately for optimal flavour and freshness and enjoy the warmth and spicy flavours of Christmas.
