This is our journey to a Gourmet Life...




READ THIS:


Definition of "Gourmet":


Gourmet /ɡɔrˈmeɪ/ is a cultural ideal associated with the culinary arts of fine food and drink, or haute cuisine, which is characterised by refined, even elaborate preparations and presentations of aesthetically balanced meals of several contrasting, often quite rich courses. The term and its associated practices are usually used positively to describe people of refined taste and passion.


In no better words could we describe what we strive for at every opportunity.

Nespresso Martinis!!



I really struggle with cocktails because generally i find them far too sweet! That's why i enjoy G&T's, because they are refreshing rather than sickly sweet. *See: G&T Revised*

I also discovered an espresso martini to be a great cocktail that is delicious and one of the few that is not too sweet. It is more of a decadent cocktail than our refreshing G&T and does have some sweetness which is balanced out with the bitterness of the coffee. getting that perfect icy cold espresso martini with a thick creme is tops!

Of course when we find something we love we have to make our own new and improved version.

We make Nespresso martinis!!

Things you need:

  • Nespresso Machine
  • Nespresso pods of choice
  • a cocktail shaker
  • ice
  • vodka of choice. (Absolut is a good value for money option)
  • Kahlua
  • Coffee beans *optional*

Simple fill your shake with ice and add:

1.5 oz Kahlua
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Nespresso

Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with 3 espresso beans.
