Cocktail Description
The Baileys Espresso Buzz delivers the perfect marriage of creamy sweetness and bold coffee intensity in a sophisticated package.
This decadent martini blends the velvety richness of Baileys Irish Cream with clean Ketel One vodka and freshly brewed espresso, creating a luxurious cocktail with a gentle caffeine kick. The first sip reveals layers of flavor—sweet cream, vanilla, and roasted coffee notes—all balanced by the warming presence of premium vodka. It's surprisingly simple to prepare despite its elegant appearance, requiring just a vigorous shake with ice and a fine strain into a chilled martini glass. Three floating coffee beans add a classic finishing touch while nodding to the traditional Italian "con la mosca" garnish symbolizing health, wealth, and happiness. This cocktail shines as an after-dinner treat, particularly following hearty meals featuring chocolate desserts, though it works equally well as a sophisticated brunch option. For food pairings, try serving alongside tiramisu, chocolate truffles, or even savory options like aged cheeses where its creaminess can complement the salt and umami.
