How to Make Espresso-Based Cocktails?
MOREHow-To Guide: Making Espresso-Based Cocktails
Ingredients:
- Freshly brewed espresso (1-2 shots per cocktail)
- Spirit of choice (vodka, rum, whiskey, etc.)
- Sweetener (simple syrup, flavored syrups, liqueurs)
- Ice
- Optional flavorings (vanilla, chocolate, spices)
- Fresh milk for frothing
- Garnish (orange or lemon zest, chocolate shavings)
Instructions:
1. Brew Espresso:
- Brew 1-2 shots of strong espresso using your preferred method. Allow it to cool slightly.
2. Choose Your Spirit:
- Select a spirit that complements the flavor of coffee. Vodka, rum, and whiskey are popular choices.
3. Sweeten to Taste:
- Add sweetener to balance the bitterness of the espresso. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your taste.
4. Add Flavorings (Optional):
- Experiment with optional flavorings like vanilla extract, chocolate
syrup, or a dash of spice to enhance the complexity of the cocktail.
5. Shake or Stir:
- Combine the brewed espresso, spirit, sweetener, and flavorings in a
shaker with ice. Shake vigorously or stir well to chill the ingredients.
6. Prepare Milk Foam:
- Froth fresh milk until it forms a rich, creamy foam. The foam adds a luxurious touch to the cocktail.
7. Strain Into Glass:
- Strain the shaken or stirred mixture into a glass filled with ice.
This can be done through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ice chips.
8. Top with Milk Foam:
- Gently spoon the frothed milk on top of the cocktail. The foam can be
poured over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect.
9. Garnish Creatively:
- Add a finishing touch by garnishing with citrus zest, chocolate shavings, or any other complementary garnish.
10. Serve and Enjoy:
- Your espresso-based cocktail is ready to be enjoyed! Sip slowly and savor the harmonious blend of coffee and spirits.

Aggie Banana Recipe
Place bananas in an uncovered plastic bowl to freeze. Allow frost to form on them. Blend ice cream, milk, and frozen bananas until smooth. Add Schnapps, blend, and pour.
Vanilla Ice Cream
Vanilla flavoured ice cream is probably the most common ice cream in North America, Europe and Asia. Vanilla Ice Cream like any other flavoured ice cream, was originally created by cooling a cream, sugar and vanilla mixture over a metal container of ice and salt.
Vanilla Ice Cream as a cocktail topping is popular and it usually goes well with nutty liqueurs like Amaretto, Frangelico and also is a good choice as a topping for non-tropical fruit based cocktails with neutral spirits.Whole Milk
Milk can do wonders to your regular cocktail. For a rich creamy cocktail, milk does wonder .You may argue that milk as it is made of fat, and being low in acid, will easily curdle if its mixed with alcohol.
Best way to get a rich and creamy cocktail is to use bourbon, milk will soften its whiskey flavour. If you are looking for some spicier yet creamy cocktail go for Scotch with milk cocktails, they'll surely set you holiday mood.Sliced Bananas
Ice is so obvious in most drinks, be it a straight drink or a mixed drink, that we often forget it's importance or even reason behind using a crystal clear good quality ice in a glass of whisky, or crushed ice in a tall glass to enjoy a cocktail.
Ice tempers a hard liquor, and as is in the case of whisky for example, if you prefer the flavours of whisky reach your nose without the hard note of spirit lingering around, or want to avoid the mild sting of a neat whisky, a cube of ice mellows the strength down a little and as it melts slowly, the aroma and flavour is released from the whisky slowly and makes whisky progressively weak, lingering and palatable.
Ice in Vodka helps release the little flavour a Vodka has, slowly, instead of letting the Vodka hit your nose all at once,
In mixed drinks, ice plays an important role in creating the perfect temperature a certain drink requires and bartenders use ice in several different ways, crushed ice for long drinks that will allow the cocktail to slowly water down like a Mint Julep, Moscow Mule, Rum Swizzle, Sherry Cobbler and other Tiki drinks, a large block or cubes of ice for drinks that are spirit heavy, such as the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and ManhattanButterscotch Schnapps
Schnapps is an alcoholic beverage that can be a distilled fruit brandy, a herbal liqueur, infusions and flavoured liqueurs, made by infusing fruit syrups, spices or artificial flavourings to a neutral grain spirit.
Schnapps in German means a strong alcoholic drink and it's usually a 60-80 proof (30% - 40% ABV) beverage.
Butterscotch Schnapps is a Schanpps made by infusing butter and brown sugar in grain spirit, and is designed to taste just like butterscotch caramels and are used in creating sweet cocktails and shots. It is usually 30–42 proof (15% – 21% ABV ) and is weaker than other Schnapps.
The most famous Butterscotch Schnapps is Dekuyper Buttershot Schnapps.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
