Espresso Martinis are making a strong comeback to the bar scene, but you've probably never tried one made by Rohan of Bar Trigona in Kuala Lumpur. In addition to swapping vodka for rye, another thing that makes Rohan's version stand out is how he makes his espresso: he brews it fresh with stout instead of water!

Ingredients:

50ml Rye whiskey

10ml Coffee liqueur

60ml Espresso (freshly brewed with stout beer instead of water)

5ml Simple syrup

Coffee bean (for garnish)

Method:

Pre-chill the cocktail shaker before adding the whiskey, liqueur, and syrup. Add freshly brewed espresso into the ice. Shake vigorously and double strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a single coffee bean.
