Notes
TIPS:
Cool the coffee so it doesn't melt the ice = won't dilute drink flavour
Espresso coffee from a proper coffee machine = nice crema (foam) on coffee = nice foam layer on surface of Espresso Martini
Can't get foam on Espresso Martini with coffee granules, French Press coffee marker or similar. Need a proper machine!
No coffee machine? Cheat! Add 1/2 egg white and shake, it will create a gorgeous foam layer but you will not be able to taste it at all!
