The rise of the espresso martini is reshaping cocktail culture, especially as more people experiment with making drinks at home. Chris Leavitt, known as 'Not Just a Bartender', has teamed up with Roasty Buds Coffee Co. to create a special coffee blend designed specifically for this popular cocktail. The Bartender’s Espresso Blend combines beans from Brazil, Colombia, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, focusing on a medium roast to achieve a rich crema and a balanced flavor profile. This blend is crafted to enhance the taste of various coffee cocktails, not just the espresso martini.
• Leavitt emphasizes the importance of high-quality ingredients for the best drinks.
• The blend features tasting notes of dark chocolate and caramel for a perfect balance with coffee liqueurs.
• An espresso machine is essential for making the most of this coffee blend.
• Restaurants can elevate their cocktail offerings by using this specially designed coffee.
This partnership highlights a growing trend among consumers who want to create high-quality drinks at home. As more people explore coffee cocktails, the demand for premium ingredients will likely continue to rise, benefiting both home bartenders and restaurants alike.
