Everyone loves an espresso martini! Rich, creamy, and lightly sweet this brewed blunder packs a kick of caffeine needed for any night out! This is a variation of the classic version with a couple of my favorites, Licor 43 and Perc Coffee Liqueur!
Here’s how to make Perc Up!:
Instructions:
Add vodka, espresso, Licor 43, and Perc Coffee Liqueur in a shaker tin and fill with ice. Shake for 10 seconds.
Double strain and pour the mixture into a nitrogen infusion canister.
Dispense equally into two martini glasses. Top each with 3 coffee beans.
What is nitrogen and why is it in my cocktail?
Nitrogen is one of the most abundant elements on the planet. It is a gas that is odorless and tasteless. To add nitrogen to a liquid it requires pressure (provided by the steel canister) and cold temperatures (ice) to dissolve. When dispensed the infused gas first tries to escape the glass by rushing downward to the bottom. The nitrogen then travels upward releasing around the rim of the glass. The result is a light and creamy textured foam which forms on the top of the beverage.
