Conniption Espresso Martini: A Bold Twist on a Classic
At our upcoming Art of the Cocktail class on October 22, we’re excited to feature the Conniption Espresso Martini—an adventurous take on the classic cocktail. What makes this martini truly special is the use of Conniption Navy Strength Gin, a gin that brings bold flavors and unmatched complexity to the table, setting this drink apart from the typical espresso martini.
Why did we choose Conniption Navy Strength Gin for this event? The answer lies in its distinctive character and craftsmanship.
A Gin That Commands Attention
Conniption Navy Strength Gin isn’t just another gin; it’s a spirit that demands to be noticed. At 57% ABV, it has the strength to hold its own in any cocktail, yet its flavor profile remains refined and sophisticated. Conniption’s unique two-step distillation process, utilizing a German pot still and a modern vacuum distillation technique, creates a gin that balances power and elegance.
This innovative method preserves the vibrancy of its botanicals—Indian coriander, caraway, bay leaf, rosemary, and cardamom. These flavors not only complement the juniper but stand out, creating a robust foundation that blends seamlessly with the rich, bitter notes of espresso in our martini. The addition of sweet citrus and fig introduces a hint of sweetness and complexity, elevating this gin to a whole new level.
A Perfect Match for Espresso
The espresso martini, traditionally made with vodka, relies heavily on the bold flavors of coffee and liqueur. However, by using Conniption Navy Strength Gin, we’ve transformed this classic into something extraordinary. The gin’s botanical depth adds an aromatic richness that enhances the espresso without overpowering it. Its herbal notes—particularly the rosemary and bay leaf—work in harmony with the coffee’s bitterness, while the citrus and fig provide a vibrant finish that brightens each sip.
This gin doesn’t simply blend into the background; it elevates the cocktail, adding complexity and dimension to every layer of flavor. It’s a martini that offers more than a caffeine kick—it’s an experience of bold contrasts and harmonious flavors.
