Express Yourself
Mar 11, 2023
Don't go for second best, baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real
Express Yourself (AKA the El Guapo Espresso Martini)
Recipe:Â @hurricane_christa

Makes one cocktail
• 2 oz Vodka (we ♥ï¸Â @13thcolony)
• .5 oz Coffee Liqueur (we used @kahlua)
• .5 oz El Guapo® Sweet Potato Syrup
• 6 dashes El Guapo® Chicory Pecan Bitters
• Whole Espresso Beans, for garnish
In a clean shaker filled with ice, combine all ingredients. Shake until well chilled and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garish with 3 whole espresso beans. CHEERS
Fun Fact: This is the cocktail’s trademark garnish is three whole espresso beans. They're said to represent health, wealth and happiness and come from the traditional serving of Sambuca in Italy, where the beans are called con la mosca, which means “with the flyâ€. You can chew and eat the coffee beans in both cocktails but it's a personal preference!
