This cocktail recipe was developed at Edwards Dessert Kitchen, our innovation space and ultimate dessert destination in Minneapolis. A riff on a traditional espresso martini, we used EDWARDS® Turtle Crème Pie to elevate this drink to a whole new level!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 slice EDWARDS® Turtle Crème Pie
- 1.5 oz Electric Ladyland blend*
- 1 shot of espresso
- salt blend (lava charcoal + oak smoked sea salt)
- lemon rind
*ELL blend is equal parts vodka, Irish cream liqueur and coffee liqueur.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add Electric Ladyland blend and fresh espresso to shaker tin.
- Scoop the filling from one slice of EDWARDS® Turtle Crème Pie and add it to the shaker tin.
- Reserve the crust for rimming the glass after dipping the rim in fresh citrus.
- Add ice to the tin and shake.
- Strain into the rimmed glass.
- Shake salt blend 2-3 times on top.
- Express the lemon rind over the glass and use as a garnish.
