Which tonic is the tastiest for an espresso tonic?
A premium tonic with a light, fresh flavour works best. Classic tonic or Mediterranean tonic pairs perfectly with the espresso.
Does the espresso need to cool down before you add it?
Let the espresso cool for a minute. It should still be warm, but not piping hot, so that the tonic stays fizzy.
Can I use decaffeinated espresso?
Yes, that's perfectly possible. You'll get the same flavour experience, but without the caffeine boost.
Which glasses are most suitable for espresso tonic?
A tall glass, such as a tumbler or highball glass, beautifully displays the layers of tonic and espresso.
Can you make an espresso tonic alcoholic as well?
Yes. Add a splash of gin, vodka or coffee liqueur for an exciting cocktail version of the espresso tonic.
Which vodka is best to use for an espresso martini?
A smooth, neutral vodka works best. Premium brands give the cocktail an even smoother and more luxurious taste.
Can I make the espresso martini without a shaker?
Yes, but a shaker creates the characteristic foam layer. Don’t have a shaker? Use a well-sealing jar or bottle and shake vigorously.
How do I get the crema so nice and thick?
By shaking vigorously with plenty of ice. The harder you shake, the creamier and fuller the foam layer becomes.
Can I make an espresso martini without alcohol?
Use decaffeinated espresso and replace vodka and coffee liqueur with a mix of sugar syrup, cold coffee and, if desired, a dash of coffee syrup.
How far in advance can I prepare an espresso martini?
You can mix the ingredients in advance, but always shake the cocktail just before serving. This way it stays cold and gets that beautiful layer of foam.
Which roast profile suits Brazilian coffee best?
Brazilian coffee is best enjoyed with a medium to dark roast. This brings out the rich, sweet notes and maintains the balance between body and aroma.
How long do Brazilian coffee beans stay fresh?
Freshly roasted coffee beans retain their optimal flavour for up to about eight weeks after roasting, provided they are stored airtight in a cool, dark place.
Are Brazilian coffee beans suitable for cold brew?
Yes, due to their mild acidity and full body, these beans produce a smooth, sweet cold brew with a long finish.
What is the difference between Brazilian coffee beans and beans from other countries?
Brazilian beans often have a low acidity and a creamy texture, while beans from, for example, Ethiopia can have more pronounced fruity and floral notes.
