Rum Espresso Martini
(Celebrated on March 15)
Rum Espresso Martinis have been featured numerous times in this magazine. We invite you to review Philip’s Cigar & Rum Pairings for a few examples.
Below is an excellent recipe from Cris Dehlavi, our Muse of Mixology. It was originally published last month and is an excellent cocktail to celebrate with on March 15th.
Beware though, you may crave it throughout the spring and summer!

- 1.5 oz. Aged Jamaican Rum
- 1 oz. Coffee Liqueur
- 1.5 oz. Espresso
- Three dashes of Orange Bitters
- Three drops Saline
Directions:
- Shake well with ice, and strain into a Coupe (or Martini, if you don’t have Coupe) glass.

- Garnish with three chocolate-covered espresso beans.
