A message from Edmonton Cocktail Week:
Try this recipe for a Haskap Kissed Espresso Martini, created by Galen Kjargaard of Sip Liquor Market using ingredients from Field Notes, The Fort Distillery, and Token Bitters.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Jaya Chai Liqueur
- 1.25 oz Fort Distillery Boreal Gin
- 1 oz espresso using beans from your favourite local roaster
- 0.25 oz simple syrup (1:1) or coffee-infused simple syrup
- 2 dashes Token Heritage Bitters
- Chocolate for garnish
Build your cocktail:
- Combine all ingredients into a shaker and shake until chilled and foamy.
- Double-strain into chilled glass (coupe, preferably).
- Garnish with grating chocolate from your favourite local chocolate maker. (Galen suggests his favourite: Delavoye Chocolate Maker.)
- Pro tip: Don't have an espresso maker at home? Grab an espresso to go from your local independent cafe. It'll keep for up to eight hours to use in your martini!
