About this experience

Learn how to build a better Espresso Martini — by understanding what actually changes the drink.

The Espresso Martini is one of the most ordered cocktails in the world.
Yet small choices can completely change the final result.

In this workshop, we break the drink down step by step to understand how each element affects flavour, texture, and balance.

You’ll taste a series of Espresso Martini variations, each one isolating a specific factor:
how different coffee preparations behave, how roast profile changes the drink, how the choice of coffee liqueur matters, and how the base spirit influences structure.

By keeping the cocktail framework consistent, the differences become clear — not through theory, but through tasting and comparison.

The goal is not to memorise a recipe.
It’s to understand how the drink works, so you know what to adjust depending on the coffee, the bottle, or the style you want.

Throughout the workshop, practical bartender tips will be shared — the small details that make a big difference in the glass.

At the end, you’ll use everything you’ve learned to:
👉 build your own Espresso Martini with clear choices and real control.

All recipes will be provided so you can take notes and recreate them at home.
