Named the ‘World’s Best’ at the 2019 World Vodka Awards, our ultra-smooth English vodka retains the distinctive characteristics of the finest British wheat for a sweeter, more rounded flavour.
Most often consumed with a mixer or straight over ice, to celebrate #NationalVodkaDay we’ve curated a selection of our favourite cocktails for you to enjoy this weekend.
The Espresso Martini
Coffee? Dessert? Go for both with this sweet, spirit-forward cocktail perfect for after dinner. Simply add all ingredients into a shaker, shake vigorously and strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with 3 coffee beans.
Espresso is a key component of this drink and a fresh shot creates the frothy head but, if you don’t have an espresso maker, you can use an extra-strong measure of filter coffee as an alternative.
If you like your Espresso Martini a little sweeter, why not serve this cocktail with a 25ml serving of The Lakes Salted Caramel Vodka Liqueur on the side to drizzle over.
Ingredients:
- 25ml The Lakes Vodka
- 25ml fresh espresso juice
- 5ml sugar syrup
