Cheers to dad with this delicious cocktail recipe from Brown Brothers.
With Father’s Day just around the corner, Brown Brothers, one of Australia’s best-loved family wineries, which has been making wine for over 130 years, has shared their recommendations for the perfect cocktail to enjoy this Father’s Day.
If you’re looking for a decadent treat instead of a dessert for the perfect end to your Father’s Day meal, then look no further than the Espresso Mar-Tawny – Brown Brothers’ twist on a traditional Espresso Martini.
Espresso Mar-Tawny
Ingredients:
30ml vodka
30ml espresso
30ml coffee liqueur
30ml Brown Brothers Australian Tawny
10ml vanilla & wattleseed syrup*
3 dashes choc bitters
Garnish:
3 coffee beans
Glass: Coupe’ glass
Method:
Pre-chill your glass in the freezer or add a scoop of ice while you make your cocktail.
Add all ingredients to your shaker and shake without ice to emulsify and develop a lovely foam.
Add ice and shake again until the outside of the tin is frosty.
Double strain to help eliminate any ice shards in your cocktails. Feel free to use any glass you have, but we think it looks so much classier in a beautiful coupe’ glass.
Garnish with 3 coffee beans.
Top Tip: *Make your syrup ahead of time by mixing equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over the stove. Add a pinch of wattleseed, and vanilla beans (or extract) if you have it. Once sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and cool. You can use more or less, depending on your desired sweetness and coffee liqueur.
