Ch Espresso Martini

Ch Espresso Martini is a ready-to-drink canned version of the espresso martini, the vodka-and-coffee cocktail. The can is pre-mixed, so there is nothing to shake, strain or measure, and it needs no extra ingredients. Open it and pour, or drink it from the can. Canned drinks in this style usually lead with roasted coffee, bittersweet and slightly toasty, with a touch of sweetness from coffee liqueur and a smooth, rounded body. The producer's details for this can don't list an ABV or specific tasting notes, so check the label for strength before you serve it. Serve it well chilled. Cold is what makes the coffee read as crisp rather than heavy, so keep cans in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature. For a glass, pour over ice into a rocks glass, or into a small chilled coupe if you want it served up. A rocks glass is the easier choice for a drink that wasn't shaken to order. Shake the can gently before opening if the label recommends it, since coffee cocktails can settle slightly. The coffee profile suits the end of a meal, next to chocolate desserts, tiramisu, biscotti or salted caramel sweets, or in place of an after-dinner coffee. It also works as a grab-and-go can for a late afternoon pick-me-up gathering, a dinner-party finish with no bartending, or a cooler or picnic bag.
