A Yummy Leaded Martini

Don’t you just love Vodka? Don’t you just love coffee? Well, The Kahlua Espresso Martini just sounded like a match made in heaven with that extra boost to get you through the rest of the week.

If you don’t have an espresso machine you can use the recipe on the Nestle site that calls for their prepared NESCAFE Espresso or do what I do and just make a strong batch using my French Press.

Kahlua Espresso Martini
1 part Kahlua
1 part vodka
1/2 part fresh brewed espresso

Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously, strain into a chilled martini glass rimmed with course sugar.

The Vodka Cookbook by John Rose


The Vodka Cookbook by John Rose has collected well over 100 invigorating recipes in this gorgeous collection.  From brunch to dessert, you’ll never look at vodka in the same way again. Try Vodka Beef Stroganoff with Chilli Sweet Potato Crisps, Disoriented Duck (Grilled Duck Breast with Vodka Cranberry Orange Glaze) or Lobsters Steamed in Vodka with Vodka Tarragon Dipping Sauce for a romantic dinner. Or just give yourself a weeknight treat with Penne and Vodka Cream Sauce, Vodka and Moscow Tacos or some amazing Vodka Chocolate Mousse. With chapters on vodka preserves, including Raspberry Vodka Jam and Sweet Onion Vodka Jam, drinks such as Vodka Sangria and Fat White Russian, and infusions including Espresso Vodka and Vanilla Vodka, you’ll wonder how you ever cooked without it!

With mouthwatering photography by Simon Wheeler and fascinating vodka facts throughout, The Vodka Cookbook is the perfect book for anyone who likes to have adventures in the kitchen.
