Questions people ask
Why do you need to double strain an espresso martini?+
Using a fine mesh cone alongside a Hawthorne strainer catches tiny ice shards that can puncture the coffee crema, ensuring a silky, unbroken foam surface.
Can you make an espresso martini with a Moka pot?+
A concentrated Moka pot brew provides the deep coffee intensity and natural oils needed to emulsify into a rich froth when shaken vigorously with ice.
How do you get thick foam on a homemade espresso martini?+
Shake freshly brewed coffee and spirits vigorously for at least fifteen seconds with solid ice cubes, creating the rapid aeration required to produce dense microfoam.
Should you shake one or two espresso martinis at a time?+
Weighted two-piece tins easily accommodate paired servings, provided you leave enough headspace inside the shaker for the ice and liquid to move forcefully.
