Espresso Martini 2.0

Welcome to Edgar’s Flavors, Brussels. Nestled in the Louise quarter, this boudoir-street style bar features cocktails based on agave spirits, such as mezcal and tequila. You can sip them in a cosy atmosphere, with designer wallpaper and touches of gold, under Frida Kalho’s watchful gaze.  Tania Shamshur, the bartender, has brought a twist to the famous Espresso Martini, especially for Charles Liégeois Roastery. 

Ingredients :

Recipe :

  • Fill a shaker with ice.
  • Start with the cheaper ingredients. That way, if you make a mistake, it's no great loss. 
  • Add the coffee shot, the coffee liqueur, the Cuir Lointain liqueur, and finally the tequila. 
  • Shake, shake, shake.
  • Pour into a coupe-style glass, garnish with three coffee beans and spray on the cocoa essence, if desired.
  • Enjoy at home, or with Edgar, the owners' French bulldog.
