FAQs:
Why use the Elixir Mixer in a cocktail?
Using an Elixir Mixer can help to perfectly blend the coffee with the other liquid ingredients, resulting in a smoother and better-emulsified cocktail.
Can I make this cocktail alcohol-free?
Absolutely! You can replace the vodka with a non-alcoholic vodka alternative and substitute the coffee liqueur with decaf coffee or a coffee-flavored syrup.
Is it necessary to use espresso or can I use regular coffee?
You can use strong brewed coffee if you don't have espresso. However, espresso is recommended for its strong flavor and rich texture that nicely complement the other ingredients.
Can I add other flavors to this martini?
Sure, you can experiment with adding a touch of vanilla extract, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a dash of chili powder for a spicy kick.
Why garnish with coffee beans?
