Today I'm mixing up an Espresso Martini - twice! The original name of this cocktail was Vodka Espresso - you can guess what was in the thing. I'll give you a hint, it's not cognac - but I'll show you it is really good that way! I like using Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur for both of these recipes because it isn't overly sweet. So if you enjoy an Espresso Martini, you'll want to try these recipes with Mr. Black - Cheers!

Not *really* a martini but it *really* is a treat. Who's trying the cognac version? 🙋🏻♂️

Will be trying both versions when my Mr Black arrives.
I have enjoyed espresso martinis made with vodka for years so I am going straight for the cognac. Mr. Black sounds perfect. I have a feeling this is going to be love at first sip. 😊
I like either an aged or smoked grappa in place of the vodka/cognac. ½ a pinch of sea salt as well.
What’s your take on using a nitro cartridge instead of double straining? Never seen it done, but I’m curious after watching this video.
finally a personalized code for me
Out of all the cocktail channels on youtube you guys have without a doubt the best looking one. The lighting is really nice, graphics are cool (although some could stay up a tad longer), your set/bar is well laid out, your editing is totally on point (love the cutaways to tight shots). And of course the content is great. I work in production and find most channels horrible looking or just amateurish. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words, Kevin! Cheers to you!
@@AndersErickson I've always assumed your girlfriend has industry experience with video making, if not then you guys have picked it up very quickly.
Agree! Fantastically shot and delivered
@@Spaxcore I’m pretty sure she does cause the videos in this channel have been gorgeous and well edited since day one
@@Spaxcore She's a professional food photographer, so it makes sense.
I need to stop. I have been watching bartender videos on RUclips nonstop for days. I have cut off contact. Please help me please help me.
You will get through it, I was in your shoes last year. Stay consistent
Dude same! 😂
I can help you ..to know about bartending
I don’t watch nor do I make. I just drink it. And it’s gooooooooood….,
Just understand that's its a disease, not an addiction. There's help out there
At this point you should make a phone app with all recipes you know so we have your versions at one place :D honestly yours are by far the best!!!
Ok I just made this. Fantastic. I’ve had espresso martinis before but they were made with kahlua, Mr. Black is a MASSIVE upgrade from that. I did add some fee brothers chocolate bitters, and that elevated the cocktail to a whole new level. I highly recommend trying that out.
Love Mr. Black! Discovered it in 2019 when I took a trip to Australia and saw it popping up in the States soon after. Been recommending it to every friend that enjoys a good espresso martini😁
I just want to say, I'm so happy I stumbled across your channel not to long ago. You've been a fantastic inspiration on my own cocktail making and have really forced me to go out and explore different distillers. Heck, I even started expanding the types of spirits I like to use now. So thank you Anders, for all the great content and amazing personality! Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video. Cheers
Thank you so much, Sean! Happy to hear you're finding value in the content, and love that I can help as you expand your cocktail interest/knowledge. Cheers to you!
The cognac is a welcome addition, I once had a similar drink with brandy in a Peruvian bar (it wasn’t called espresso martini). They used 2 shorts of pisco, 1 shot Mr Black, simple syrup, and a barspoon each of freshly pressed ginger juice and lime juice. They also stirred it rather than shaking. Let me tell you it was amazing. Happy weekend Anders
Woah that sounds incredible, what bar was this?
Wow, what a combo! I'm going to have to give that a shot. Thanks, David! Happy Friday!
I love how you give history behind the drinks, you're amazing. 👏👏👏👏
Definitely trying the cognac version! Just ordered myself and my pops a bottle and cant wait for it to get here! Thanks for the hookup and keep doing what youre doing.
I just tried this cocktail with Cognac and loved it!!! Great video, as always!!!
I absolutely love the history lesson along with the recipe!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love the lemon oil ingredient, haven't tried this, so look forward to doing so!
Just stumbled across your channel about a week ago and can’t get enough…love the content, editing, personality, “sips, tips and recipes.”
Keep it up!! And thanks so much.
Thanks, Garrett! Cheers!
Absolutely love your channel! I think your recipes and methods have got to be my favorites!! Also, love getting the history of the different drinks!!❤
Thanks for the video and discount. I ordered two bottles today. I think my wife and I will love the Cognac version but we'll try both. We love your content, sir!
Really nice for winter season
Good job mr anders!
I just made my first espresso martini a few weeks ago but I'm glad you pointed out that most coffee liquors are too sweet. That's the first thing I pulled out of drinking mine is that I wish it wasn't like drinking a sugary cold brew. I'll consider picking up Mr Black next time I'm shopping for alcohol
Definitely trying this with the cognac, sounds awesome! 👌
i've been swapping the vodka for bourbon, and the lemon expression for orange. one of my go-to cocktails. :) (also works really well with cane simple syrup instead of demerera if you want to amp the sweetness and make it taste more... breakfast-y.)
Coffee is my favorite drink!!! Its so interesting recipes and I hope to make it so soon)) THANKS a lot)
I really love the tip of the lemon oils. Appreciated.
My favorite youtube channel by a mile. Thanks for all of your videos and suggestions! you guys are the best at what you do.
Thanks, Luis! Hope you're having a great Friday and enjoy the weekend!
Amazing video. Just started to delve into the wonders of cocktail making. Have tried a couple of espresso martinis but just tried this version with Mr Black and it was great. Will definitely be checking out some of your other videos for cocktail ideas
Don't just watch 'some' of Anders' videos, watch them all. So fun and interesting! Have a great day.
Thank you Anders！！ I followed your recipe making espresso martini with vsop. Fabulous! I love the lemon peel oil. So fresh !!
Mr Black is now my favorite liqueur! so happy to have found it and now i need to try your version of the drink.
I was planning on having more than a few of these at Christmas, hopefully I'll be able to elevate them now! Another great video thanks 👍
It'll make for a festive holiday!
So glad you showed both ways, I think I would prefer cognac. Can't wait to try this.
I'm a bar manager in downtown Chicago, we put 3 different espresso martinis on draught. Let me just say it was a pain in the ass to set up. But once you get it working and get it nice and foamy, it's a huge hit.
We tried one with a Reposado and it's fantastic. Repo and coffee is actually a great flavour combination.
Love it! Can't wait to try it tomorrow, cheers!
Delicious but never again! My husband and I were bug-eyed and sleepless until dawn!! Still love you Anders - our favorite RUclips liquor professor. You make us feel like we’re sitting on a bar stool getting personal tutoring at your very own bar. I still can’t get my sours to froth like yours though. 😩
The cognac version was an absolute hit after dinner tonight, Merry Christmas 🎄!! . Thank you for the fantastic creation . We enjoy your RUclipss very much. They make me miss bartending. Was tons of fun and kept me alive in college.
Ps the Mr Black does it. Not a syrup coffee liqueur. It’s wonderful.
Az & Anders, what a great channel and awesome recipes!
I finally located Mr Black in my area. The difference between Mr Black and another brand was amazing! Thank you guys for great recipes and entertainment.
Much love and encouragement 😍
Recently discovered your channel. Very much enjoying the content. Thanks for sharing!
I like using a good rum rather than vodka. Can’t wait to try the cognac version. Mr. Black is fantastic stuff!
Loved Anders Erickson explaining the history and stories of cocktails
when I make my espresso martini at home, I like to add half an ounce of Cointreau triple sec to the mix. I feel the rich citrus flavor accents the coffee flavors well, and it gives the cocktail an overall sweet yet complex taste, kind of like that of a Terry's Chocolate Orange
Sounds delicious! Citrus and coffee always rock together.
I've just found your channel and I have to say I'm usually a neat whiskey kind of guy but I went out and bought the ingredients in this just to try it and I loved it keep up the great work
Thank you. I Have an espresso every weekend and never had a mr black. I`m trying this during XMAS. Thank you.
Just found your channel. My new favorite. I'm an at-home hack cocktailer who really enjoys a night on the town with friends and a talented bartender. Making my way through your library to become less of a hack and start enjoying more cocktails at home. Thanks for your insight.
Gonna try that tomorrow!
Adding cognac, in my mind, takes the cocktail in the direction of a sweeter, less bitter Guinness. I love it!
Anders, you have nice sense of humor and good taste for beauty.
Thanks for sharing!
I am going for the cognac espresso martini right away, Anders! I am not a fan at all of a super sweet cocktail so I have never liked coffee liqueurs. But as soon as I tasted Mr. Black in Australia a few years ago, I loved it. I brought some back and I hope Mr. Black is available in Canada soon. I don't know why it isn't at this point. We want Mr. Black! The cognac is a fabulous idea to use in this cocktail. I am really looking forward to it. And I will absolutely give the vodka espresso martini another try. I don't drink them often but they are very enjoyable. When I was in Melbourne I got a huge sense of how much they love their coffee, as we do here in Vancouver - huge coffee friendly cities!! We take our coffee seriously! I can see how Mr. Black was developed in Australia. It makes sense given their love of coffee and the espresso martini. High end coffee and Mr. Black are literally part of the foodie/coffee/cocktail culture. They are adored in AUS!! Have a terrific weekend, Anders. Great video! I hope you are well! Cheers!
Thanks, Christine! Hope you can get your hands on some more Mr. Black soon. I think you'll love the espresso martini with the cognac! I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Australia yet, so I can't say I've experienced their love of coffee first hand, but after tasting Mr. Black I can tell they know good coffee! Have a great weekend with something fun to sip on! Cheers!
Thanks for the story and the idea of adding lemon oil.
I appreciate this channel. Can’t wait to try the cognac version.
Cheers again Anders, substituted the simple syrup and normal vodka for salted Carmel vodka and it worked a treat.
Mine was just delivered! I can't wait to try a cold brew old fashioned!
I just bought some coffee liqueur in Mexico. This video is just want I needed!
the lemon is great in this! I cant believe I just made a better espresso martini than any that ive tried at nice places. thanks!!!
Love your videos, looking forward to this one
I usually make a version without the lemon. Last time I tried adding some cocoa bitters to it, and it gave it some interesting spicy flavour, with cinnamon notes. Worth the try.
This is most elegant channel, you also look at the camera and personal like just talking to us in the bar. Thank you for being honest also about the sponsor about the Mr. Black.
Sounds & Looks fantastic I would definitely go for the Cognac Variation 👌
i love seeing people's takes on this drink. seems like everyone builds it a little differently
And they're all still so good!
Love your channel!
I just decided to make these yesterday and looked for your video on it and suddenly it’s here!
Just made this after trying it at a bar yesterday for the first time used the absolute vanilla was a nice addition to the flavour
I always have such a great time watching your videos, I wish they were longer lol. Going for espresso rn
Thank you so much! Enjoy that espresso ☕️
Tried both. Amazing!! You’re version is my new favourite. Used Remy Martin for the cognac version.
Yesss.....this one has it all! Great video, great story, great cocktails I will have to try out! Ever tried a rum or whisky(e)y as the other spirit?
Thanks Anders!
Love the channel and enjoying working my way through the recipes. We always have our espresso martini with rum rather than vodka, especially diplomatico reserva from Venezuela. Lovely
At the bar I work at we also put a shot of frangellico in and my God its an amazing touch
I make mine with spiced rum. Banging combination.
I just discovered your channel and Love all of your videos. I live just south of you, if you are still in Chicago, I wish I could visit your bar to try your drinks. Every drink you make looks fantastic and I really love when you use rums in your drinks. Cheers.
The cognac version sounds really interesting. I’ll give that a try if I can find the coffee liquor. Thanks for sharing, and the highly caffeinated finale in the video! 🤣
I made the cognac version and loved it!
favorite cocktail hands down
You are awesome. Love this channel and everything you do. You are such an honestly enthusiastic guy that when you’re *not* totally into it for real, it reads. It’s okay. We all need to make a living :-)
I am going to try the cognac variant! I use an Aeropress to make the coffee. I know it doesn't produce espresso (the pressure is way too low) but what comes out is a short, strong coffee with a creamy texture and it seems to me that the results are excellent.
Using what's in my shelf and substituted small batch bourbon - that adds good flavors too. Excited to try a splash of cointreau and cognac next time! With the addition of black walnut bitters.
I read your comment and decided to try the black walnut bitters in my espresso martini, it truly gave it a new depth!!!
I finally got an espresso maker, and I've been wanting to make this, so I did! Unfortunately didn't have any Mr. Black, but I used Kahlua, and it still tasted great! Thanks, Anders!
I’ve been waiting on this video 😍 ☕️ 🍸
Anders - love your show. Great receipes with open-minded approach and great attitude. Have replaced the sugar syrup for maple syrup and orange peel instead of the lemon. Works a treat!
Just made my 1st espresso martini based on your recipe. Used mr black, 2:1 syrup and remy martin accord royal as well as an espresso from my quickmill carola. it was delicious!
A great resource as always. I don't know how easy it'd be for you to source, but you might be interested in getting a bottle of Kavi, its a Canadian coffee infused whiskey, but the prep involves blending casks between ~10-18 years old, then re-racking that with high end cold brew, which is then rested for a couple years. Ends up just under 40% ABV, so I use it as the base in lieu of vodka altogether.
for holidays, adding 6-8 mint leaves+ .5 creme de cocoa doesn't suck either.
Hey Anders! Love the channel and don’t ever miss a one! Definitely gonna be trying this one out. When are you gonna be back behind the bar for real?
I flipping love mr black!!!
Love to see the addition of cognac it really compliments the cocktail well. actually at the bar I work at we use a Spanish brandy and just just a bit of crème de cacao, everything else is done by the Jeffery morgenthauler way with cold brew espresso and lemon zest. Really nice to see the addition of zest and great job ☺️
Love the conhaque touch
What a classy-looking drink, especially with the extra foam and coffee beans to finish. Loving the idea of swapping out the vodka for cognac. I may just have to pick up some coffee liqueur soon to try this!
You won't be disappointed, David! Cheers!
Love lemon in coffee cocktails. I also can't wait to try your way. How in the world haven't thought of that??? Oh ya, because Anders is a GENIUS!!
Hahaha it was only a matter of time before you did it too. Cheers, Carl!
wow. the swap of cognac for vodka is...a revelation. I've always enjoyed the standard espresso martini as a treat, but with cognac it is sublime!
FABULOUS Anders!!!! Did the original but had no lemons so substituted an orange peel. Came across great as sort of an orange chocolate truffle candy but coffee. Anyways LOVED IT!!!
My favourite channel on RUclips ! Incredible videos always Anders
Cheers, Edward!
Make for breakfast after a hard night out - a great pick-me-up, refreshing, and 'hair of the dog'.
Hi Anders, thx for film. I love any recipes where I can exchange vodka for cognac, your recipe is perfect👍
Great channel, Anders
Ooooo!! Love the Cognac and lemontwist 👌👌 Gotta give that a try. Thanks guys!
It’s dangerous! Cheers Johan 👍
The Mr Black with cognac tip made me trust you. I am a subscriber. Thank you.
Love this. Never thought to use Cognac. I think I'll be using that on the next one.
what a well made video!!!
the difference using Mr black and kahlua in this drink really is night and day. Fabulous cocktail
This looks really good and I will definitely try both. I tried something similar (don't know if it has a name) using Monkey Shoulder Scotch and orange peel, but only expressing the orange peel at the end not in the shaker. Will try this technique. Also, letting the coffee cool is important else the ice melts too much.
I just made these with Park XO. What a treat! You're great! Keep it up :). Cheers from Germany.
Mr. Black is blowing up the internet 💥
I actually like to make it with white rum! For example Diplomatico Planas , gives it a smooth almost milky feel to it! Maybe some chocolate bitters but i will definitely use the lemon zest next time.
My favorite Martini! Ordered two bottles!
Been wanting to make one with cognac. This just confirms I’m going to do it.
Great looking beverage
