Magnum Espresso’tini
Scotland’s leading Scotch cream liqueur, Magnum, has teamed up with The Canny Man’s in Edinburgh to raise a glass to Robert Burns.
The Canny Man’s mixologists have put a twist on the traditional Espresso Martini by creating the first ever Magnum Espresso’tini.
Vodka has been swapped for whisky to help give the Burns Night cocktail a more of a Scottish theme. The depth and light smoke of the whisky adds to the flavour and is the perfect match to Magnum’s unique fusion of single malt Scotch whisky and cream.
Ingredients
35ml Espresso (freshly made)
35ml Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky
25ml Magnum Cream Liqueur
5ml Sugar Syrup (optional)
Method
1. Shake all ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice and strain through a Hawthorn strainer.
2. Served in a martini glass and garnish with coffee beans.
The Magnum Espresso’tini will be available at The Canny Man’s, 237 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, from Burns Night, Friday January 25. www.cannymans.co.uk
Magnum is crafted and bottled in Edinburgh. To find stockists of Magnum Cream Liqueur in your area, visit www.magnumcreamliqueur.co.uk
