Gail Simmons is ready to stir up a new take on the Kahlua Espresso Martini
While cocktail trends evolve, some classic options stand the test of time. Even if there is a moment where they might not have prominence, a little twist can make the favorite sip seem all new. Gail Simmons has a new way to enjoy that Kahlua Espresso Martini and it might be the new holiday treat that everyone will want to enjoy.
From a fun night out to a cozy evening at home, the espresso martini has seen a resurgence in popularity. While there are many variations on this classic cocktail, the coffee flavor needs to be front and center. When Kahlua is part of the mix, it always delivers that luscious taste.
Even though it is easy to grab that cocktail shaker and martini glass, the holiday season often comes with that desire to be a little more. Whether it is a willingness to indulge or just go a little overboard, adding that touch of sparkle to the experience makes the occasion even more festive.
Recently, Gail Simmons partnered with Kahlua to reimagine the Kahlua Espresso Martini. For this idea, the cocktail does not change; instead the serving vessel does. It is time to skip the dishes because this cup is edible. Check out the Stemless Cocoa Cup.
As Simmons shared, “the Stemless Cocoa Cup was a labor of love, taking inspiration from the rich and smooth taste of my go-to cocktail, the Kahlua Espresso Martini. It’s a new and simple way to enjoy the beloved cocktail, made with ingredients found in most kitchens, while leaving room for people to put their own twist on it with a variety of garnishes. As someone who spends ample time in the kitchen, I’m always looking for ways to help people stir up everyday classics and I think the chocolate tart recipe will quickly become a go-to for holiday hosts!”
The idea of an edible cup is not necessarily a new one. Dominique Ansel has his milk and cookies shot, there are chocolate cups that people use for liquor shots and other options on the market. But, this edible cup idea is perfect for the holidays.
Given that some people would prefer to drink their dessert, this Stemless Cocoa Cup is the best of both scenarios. A sweet cocktail and a bonus bite. It might be the hit of the holiday season.
Holiday hosts can join shake up this special Kahlua Espresso Martini idea by ordering a special kit from Cocktail Courier. The kit includes Kahlua, Absolut, and a variety of garnishes to add a little seasonal sweetness to the classic cocktail. From candy canes to hazelnuts to even some sprinkles, the kit will ensure a tasty and picture-perfect cocktail.
The Stir It Up with Kahlua & Gail Simmons: Espresso Martini Kit is available on Cocktail Courier through December 17. It makes a great gift or can be the centerpiece of a holiday party.
