Espresso Mintini
an original of mine.
This came about as I was having coffee after I had cleaned some mint. The mix felt right and I wondered if I could make a coffee mint drink. Quick search did not reveal anything in the same style (sure a milky icy coffee with 1/4 cup of sugar exist).
After some tinkering I ended up with this. If you don’t have Jannamico Super Punch, Averna or Cynar would be a good sub. As for the rum anything rich and robust. I even tried with Planteray OFTD (1.25 oz (37.5ml)) with great results. Oh and you can muddle the mint but I always let the ice do that.
The libation pleasingly brings the espresso ☕️ and mint 🌿 together, way better than drinking coffee after brushing your teeth 😜 . As one sips you get crème brûlée 🍮 burnt sugar, caramel, fancy molasses, slightly bitter dark chocolate with the maple syrup.
I don’t add sugar or milk to my coffee thus I was judicious in the amount of sweetness used. When making it for yourself add the amount you prefer. If no maple syrup demerara or brown sugar. Make it your own.
