Drink of the Week: The Freehold Espresso Martini
By Chilled Magazine
Freehold Miami’s Espresso Martini
is made with a house specialty, cold brew concentrate, that goes through a 24-hour process. Plus, rather than a heavy creamy cocktail guests can enjoy a frothy delicious texture, as the cold brew is fine strained and run on a nitro line to aerate it. The coffee base makes this drink dairy-free, vegan, and with the elimination of Irish cream, nearly 200 calories are cut from the cocktail.
“Our Espresso Martini isn’t creamy like some recipes because we offer a traditional build. Some add Bailey’s or a similar Irish cream, where we remain steadfast in classic builds,” explains Alli Torres, GM and mixologist at Freehold Miami.
