Ah ok, nice one. Might give it a go, although coffee liqueurs and cocktails aren't normally my bag. I also have a thing about cocktails being labelled as 'Martini', when there's no Martini (or vermouth) in it!
Anyway, yours looked good

I know what you mean but apparently it's just an accepted thing in this case. :-)Originally Posted by Marco

Interesting and sounds good! I might give that a go at the weekend as I have all the ingredients.
For comparison, mine is 2 measures of Baileys, one measure of vodka and 2 measures of Espresso - again shaken over ice.
It seems there are many different ways of skinning this particular cat...

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

As always! :-)
Apparently you need to use a proper Espresso (hot) with crema (which is why mine fails, being from a Mokka pot).
Here's the link with the origins of the cocktail, it's actually quite interesting https://www.diffordsguide.com/encycl...presso-martini

Apparently the supermodel who requested the original wanted a drink that would "Wake me up and f**k me up!"

Should have a thicker head.
And most importantly three very high grade coffee beans floating in the head. Which you should eat with the drink.
Amateur! Pah!!!!
Also slow. I covered this ages ago.
Up your game mono!!!!

More seriously it is a great drink.
Not made some for a while but I found the best results came from putting the ingredients in a Pyrex measuring jug and blitzing it with a hand blender. That'll give you a great head.
But the beans floating in it are a must. Eating raw beans is a good way to access coffee beans. If they taste crap raw they never make good coffee.

Absolutely!
I didn't get the hang of it until the second round :-)
Also, didn't have any coffee beans available as it was all done ad hoc really.
I think the general mix was good though (certainly as good as the ones we tried in a cocktail bar in London fairly recently.
