What is fresh espresso?

Fresh espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. It is known for its rich flavor and creamy texture. To make it, you need an espresso machine or a similar coffee-making device. You pack finely-ground coffee into the machine's portafilter, then hot water is pressed through the coffee grounds, extracting their oils and essences. The result is a strong, full-flavored coffee with a layer of crema on top. Espresso serves as a base for many coffee drinks and is popular in cafes and among coffee enthusiasts.

Directions:

  • Begin by combining 1.5 oz of Patron Reposado, 1 oz of fresh espresso, and 0.5 oz of coffee liqueur in a shaker with ice.

  • Shake vigorously until well-chilled.

  • Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a few coffee beans.

This cocktail offers a luxurious blend of smooth tequila and rich espresso flavors, perfect for those who enjoy a sophisticated twist on the classic espresso martini. It's an ideal choice for a special occasion or as an elegant after-dinner drink.
