Coffee has been the cocktail world’s favourite ingredient for decades, solving one very specific problem: how to bring bitterness, body and a little jolt of energy into a glass without it looking like any effort. From the Espresso Martini of the 80s to the cold brew negronis of today’s bars, coffee offers something no other ingredient quite manages: that roasted bitterness that balances any excess of sweetness.

At Sanz Cocktails we weren’t going to miss out on the party, so we’ve given a nod to our Nordpol coffee liqueur with a recipe that rips up the rulebook: mango, curry and black cardamom in an Espresso Martini unlike any other.

✦ MANGO & CURRY ESPRESSO MARTINI RECIPE

  • 60 ml vodka
  • 15 ml curry tincture
  • 30 ml Nordpol coffee liqueur
  • 1 shot of espresso
  • 20 ml mango purée, @sanzcocktails Purefruit
  • Ground black cardamom (to garnish)
  1. Shake all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Double strain into a well-chilled coupette glass.
  3. Dust with black cardamom.

For the curry tincture: combine 200 ml of vodka with 1 teaspoon of curry powder, leave to infuse for 48 hours, then strain and bottle.

This cocktail is: SWEET · BITTER · SPICED

Why do coffee and spices work so well together?

Coffee has a roasted bitterness that begs for company, and curry (yes, curry) provides exactly that: warmth, an earthy note and a slightly spicy finish that no syrup could ever achieve. The mango comes in to soften the whole thing with its tropical sweetness, and the black cardamom finishes it off with a smoky aroma that rounds out every sip. The result is an Espresso Martini that keeps its essence (coffee, vodka, a creamy body) but plays in a different league.
