Toasted Marshmallow Espresso Martini
We all know how amazing an espresso martini is but a Toasted Marshmallow Espresso Martini is a game-changer! Making a simple syrup with toasted marshmallows and then using a marshmallow-flavored vodka (whipped cream-flavored vodka is also a treat) in the martini is crazy good!
Get yourself a good coffee or espresso liqueur like Mr. Black’s and you will have all the ingredients needed to create one of life’s little pleasures!
You’re going to want to begin by torching some marshmallows. I did mine over an open flame on my cooktop (warning: I dropped a few and ate a few so have plenty on hand).
Place them in a small saucepan and add sugar and water and cook over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted and the sugar is fully dissolved. Strain the syrup into a glass container and chill before making the cocktails.
For the martini, add espresso, vodka, coffee or espresso liqueur and toasted marshmallow syrup to a shaker filled with ice. Shake for a good 30 seconds to get a nice head of foam. Strain it into a coupe or martini glass.
Slide two marshmallows onto a skewer, torch them and place over the cocktail.
