a martini that gives you wings

The Midnight Martini is an perfectly simple cocktail that, when darker liqueurs are used, looks as dark as midnight. It does include a coffee liqueur (coffee brandy can also be used) which could keep you going to midnight if there’s any caffeine in the spirits and better than a Red Bull. Try this one out with Double Espresso Vodka and Kahlua, it’s a perfect match. Midnight Martinis are also often served as a shooter, just shake, strain into a shot glass and go for it.

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 oz vodka or coffee vodka
• 1/4 oz coffee liqueur
• shot of espresso (optional)
• blood orange slice for garnish

Preparation:

Pour the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice, shake gently and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a slice of blood orange, it will give the effect of a full moon.

Cheers!
