As I sit here sippin' a double Nespresso cappuccino (my new favorite non-alcoholic drink on a weekend morning), I was reminded that I forgot to post about one of the most brilliant additions to my favorite spirited sip - the Espressotini.
Genius-ness was found at Balthazar (a place I dearly miss for a breakfast since leaving my last job which was located just around the corner. Eggs Florentine, yum...). The drink was the Pradotini (or Pravotini?). The additional twist? A splash of orange vodka which added a delicate hint of citrus to the finish. Devine. Unfortunately, I can't find the recipe anywhere, but if I was gonna give it a shot at home, I'd start with this and adjust accordingly:
Espressotini...inspired by Balthazar
2 oz. espresso
1 oz. Absolut Vanil
1 oz. Grey Gooose L'Orange
1/2 oz. Starbucks Coffee Liqueur
Shake over ice, and strain into a very chilled martini glass.
