After Dinner Cocktail Suggestions
The meal may be over, but after dinner cocktails are a great way to keep the good times rolling! There are no hard-and-fast rules - anything you enjoy making, and know your guests will love, is sure to hit the spot – but it’s hard to go wrong with a classic Espresso Martini, White Russian or Irish Coffee.
ESPRESSO MARTINI
Put 30ml Greendale Vodka, 20ml Coffee Liqueur, 15ml Vanilla Syrup and 60ml freshly-brewed espresso in a
cocktail shaker, then shake and strain into a martini glass, or highball filled with ice. Garnish with 3 coffee beans.
WHITE DEVONIAN
(Our take on a White Russian!) Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in 35ml Greendale Vodka and 15ml Tors Caramel and Coffee Liqueur. Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds, then strain into a short tumbler, over fresh ice. To finish, carefully pour 25ml double cream over the back of a spoon and into the glass, so that it floats on top of the drink.
IRISH COFFEE
Fill a toddy glass three-quarters full with freshly-made coffee, then beat 2 tbsp whipped cream to soft peaks. Stir 1 tsp brown sugar into the coffee and add a shot of Dartmoor Whiskey, then gently pour the whipped cream on top – you want it to float, so no need to stir – and serve.
