Nothing quite captures the essence of camaraderie and indulgence like the Salted Caramel Crown Royal Espresso Martini. Whether it’s a chic family gathering or an intimate evening with loved ones, this unique cocktail intertwines the rich, dark notes of espresso with the velvety smoothness of salted caramel. It’s a sip of elegance and warmth, perfect for toasting to the moments that matter most. Let’s dive into creating this delightful beverage that promises to elevate any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Crown Royal Salted Caramel Whiskey
• 1 oz freshly brewed espresso
• 1/2 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• Ice cubes
• Sea salt and sugar for the rim
• Whole coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the martini glass. Mix a small amount of sea salt and sugar on a plate. Moisten the rim of the glass with a little bit of water, then dip it into the salt-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Crown Royal Salted Caramel Whiskey, freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.
3. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and has a light froth.
4. Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
5. Garnish with a couple of whole coffee beans, and enjoy the luxurious blend of flavors!

Helpful Tips

• If you don’t have simple syrup on hand, you can easily make it by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until the sugar dissolves.
• For a dairy-free option, use a splash of almond or coconut milk.
• Adjust the sweetness to your preference by altering the amount of simple syrup.

Storage Instructions & Ingredient Substitutions

While this cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the coffee portion ahead of time and store it in the fridge. If Crown Royal Salted Caramel is unavailable, any caramel-flavored whiskey can be a good substitute.

Pairings & Complementary Dishes

This delightful martini pairs wonderfully with a dessert cheese platter, salted caramel brownies, or even chocolate-dipped strawberries. For a complete experience, serve alongside a charcuterie board featuring an array of nuts, cheese, and fresh fruits. A light snack like roasted almonds or caramel popcorn would also perfectly complement the cocktail.
