The Espresso Martini is a cocktail that comes with a tagline: the drink that will wake you up and f*ck you up. But made correctly, this can be a complex and delicious drink with an incredible texture and just the right amount of sweetness. In this video I discuss my preferred ingredients for this classic and present 3 different versions, including one that doesn’t require an espresso machine.

Nice espresso martinis, Nick!!! BTW the lighting is good.
If I have to point something out, it’s that the right side of the screen (your left side) is a little dark.
I feel like you might need a second light on the right side of the video or bounced light from the light on the left of the video since the shadows on the left are a bit distracting.
Amaretto cocktail recipes please❤
looks amazing, and I'll be trying to make all three. Sad to see the sweepstakes is only available in the UK, the US and Australia. What do you and Mr. Black have against your Canadian viewers!?
Guess I'll get back to figuring out how to build my own cold brew tower...
Thanks for the link identifying the glasses. Wife is really wanting the ones in the first recipe.
Ah yes the espresso martini for the busy alcholholic.
The vodka redbull of the more discerning guest.
You seem to have had one too many espresso martinis if you cannot spell alcoholic.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 me!
@@dysphoria_1.040 hahaha
James Hoffman is crying seeing him making the espresso 😂
because of the way he tamped (for example)
When I saw the extraction by volume indiscriminate of coffee-in, rather than pulling a proper shot and measuring out from there 🤦🏼♂️
@GlockWiseSB There's definitely a lot going on that I'd do differently haha but if it works for his cocktail then that's all that matters! Main things are that he should've tamped more, should grind a little finer so it comes out slower (it was going a little fast) and instead of stopping the shot early, he should pull the full double shot then discard what he doesn't use, since pulling it early creates a
"ristretto" shot and changes the taste of the coffee (which many people like but is different for sure).
lol in fairness there's not much point trying to perfect the art of espresso if you're gonna dump kalhua and vodka in it
i was gonna say the same thing
"Easiest way to get 1 liter of water - weigh 1000 grams of it"
Well, it really is
For the lighting:
It is a little hot. The high lighting value that you have definitely makes things look a bit cinematic, or perhaps something for intense photography, but for this kind of educational video, it may be a little overly dramatic. The shadows are a bit harsh and the background is then very uniform. There were a few spots when your hand got close to the light source that the power of the light totally washed out detail due to very strong lighting. This may be because you are relying on one single source (+ambient) to light the scene, but you should look up 3-point lighting to help out with this and alleviate these problems. Use your fancy new bright light for your key light on your right side, have a dim fill light on the left side of your face, and then a back (or hair) light that shines from your rear three-quarter to create a halo around you and differentiate you from your surroundings. Granted, that might be a bit hard in an apartment setting, but might be worth a play around with.

For the cocktails:
I'll take ten!
Don't lie to me, you constantly refresh youtube hoping that the videos will fill in the void.
Its distressing how real this is.
When Cocktail Chemistry takes on the "Ex"presso Martini, you stop everything you are doing and watch. My daughters formula can wait. 🥃
I love Expressos 🤣
Love it, lost count how many times I've said there is no S in.....well you the idea 🤣
Any Italian knows that a lemon twist goes perfectly with espresso
re: lighting, it's a little too harsh in my opinion! Diffuse that baby
I would love to see a video about Caipirinha. It would be be very interesting seeing a "chemist" version of a such simple drink. Love the Chanel keep the good work.
Your Espresso Martinis are looking great! I love the cold brew coffee one! If you'll ever look for a fourth option, I once made a Kahlua&Coffe foam using a cream whipper (for an Inverted White Russian). Looking at your episode made me think that would taste sooo good with one of your Espresso Martinis!
I have been waiting for this video for such a long time. THANK YOU
Ok, I’ve loved you for a long time but THIS... this was the cherry on top for me. Thank you for your excellent videos. I had to comment. I appreciate your insightful, witty, top shelf style.
That tower is INSANE !!! i need that in my life
Put the filter under the coffee if you get one
I'm digging the new setup. I love how you're always playing your production, in the videos and in the thumbnails. And it always works.
That cold brew tower is so extra - I love it!
The lighting is on point!! Looks fantastic. Another great episode!
I love to add vanilla or salted caramel vodka as well and instead of the simple syrup I'll sometimes replace it with frangelico. You can add or substitute a lot of subtle flavours in the this cocktail and they're all perfect.
Love the new lighting, great contrast! Crazy what the right lighting can do to a scene
bro, your dad jokes and your kind of humor really please me!! haha plus there's a lot of quality in your content, I always make the drinks. Thank you so much
Love Mr.Black. Went to an Espresso Martini masterclass with them last year (in the before covid times).
I love the new lighting!
Looks a lot more lively with the new lighting. Great video!
Perfect time to drop a video I was planning on making this for First time tonight! Great Video!
I used to use those cold brew drips for tea at a restaurant I worked at. They're incredible.
Really well done mate, these all look delicious.
great video as always. I'm a huge fan of the "3 ways" series.
The new lighting is awesome!
I like the new lighting. I like very much that you used an actual espresso machine outside Italy to make actual coffee.
I've been hearing such good things about Mr. Black, excited to get me some. That third one would definitely be the winner in my book, but all of them looked amazing.
Great to hear mate, cheers
Two thumbs up for the new lighting! Warm and diffuse lends to the atmosphere, and *almost* makes us forget you're standing outside your kitchen :)
Got Mr Black for my birthday and it’s amazing
I like the lighting. Will have to try some of these out
I make at least thirty of these cocktails in a given weekend of service. Thanks for sharing your improvements.
Thats some pretty sweet fancy dancy equipment you have going on there! I do have Mr Black at least and will settle with my Bialetti and my Keurig machine! Very nice martinis, one and all! Thank you
My favorite cocktail! Thanks!
One of our favorites as well!
Damn! I subbed to your Channel couple of years ago when I was still in school and honestly forgot at some point. Now this popped up in my recommendations. Love to see that you stepped up your game and got more professional! Looking forward to catching up on all your videos with an Espresso Martini! :D
Keep up the great work.
Mr. Black is a nice Australian success story, isn't it? Good to see people around the world enjoying some liqueurs from my country down under. :)
Thanks legend 🙌
Damn it, 2 new ways of making Espresso Martini. Keep up the good work!
One of my favourite cocktails, especially since you can prepare it in advance! I sometimes add baileys to it, very popular with my friends.
The move with the lighting is going in a good direction. However your key and fill aren't well balanced. Whatever the source you're using camera left is a bit too hot and direct, it's especially pronounced on your hands/face which look a bit overexposed. Because the fill isn't really filling much, it's also causing things like a lot of cast shadows from your right hands onto your body, though it doesn't read most of the time due to the black apron.
But it looks like the time with Skillshare is paying off. I'm glad to see creators who show interest in continuing to improve their content, especially by branching out into areas that may not be core strengths.
I think the new lighting looks great!
Very good lighting, I must say
The new lighting looks classy! Also, gonna make myself a coffee cocktail now ^^
oh that Mr. Black sounds good.. I'll try that out next time
the lighting looks good! gives it a "late night" kinda vibe
Mr. Black's is such a great liqueur. Came up with Tia Maria and Kahlua, glad to have more options!
I like the drinks 3 ways. Interesting to see different takes of the same drink.
Mr. Black is the best!!!
I can't 'esspress' my gratitude enough for these recipes...I'll show myself out.
Lighting looks good
You should learn how to use the espresso machine. You called for a double shot but the machine was sent for a single shot dose. You tried to tamp the grounds while the tamper was stored in the machine. You really cannot get a good tamp like that. The tamper is stored in a magnetic slot. Merely pull it out and and tamp while the portafilter is resting on the counter. You need to push rather hard with the tamper, and then use the razor to level the grounds. All of this is covered in the instruction book that came with the machine.
And you should learn how to write constructive criticism.
I was assuming Nick was pulling that show from show as he was doing it from behind the machine instead of in front of it.
It's super easy for you to recommend Mr Black, barely an inconvenience.
Yay! I always just put scotch in my coffee and call it a day, now I can make a martini ~* Thank you for posting!
if you put Four Roses bourbon in your coffee then you can call it "Brunch" and now you're sophisticated.
They look amazing and it reminds me of "cafe del tiempo" in Valencia, Spain. Coffee, ice and a lemon slice (to drink in the hot months) But the fast, cheap and alcohol-free version!
Since you asked about the lighting. I’d say the directional is WAY better than the simple two light setup. I think you could diffuse it even more though. The highlights on your face/hand for the “cheesy fake cheers” shot get a little blown out and over saturated. If you want to be simple about it, you could get a shower curtain or a 5-in-1 reflector (using the diffuser portion).
All in all, the content is really good which is truly what matters! Thanks for the awesome videos.
…one more thing. The tamper comes out of its place to put proper pressure on the coffee grinds. You can see the coffee flowing out super fast due to the loose puck.
Mr. Black is great!
Thanks legend!
I really like the quality of the lighting on the left side of the frame and it has some nice dimension, but I would recommend bringing up the right side just a stop so it doesn't feel quite as invisible (mostly for the sake of what's on the table). This would also help you balance the exposure so the whites on the left don't start clipping when you move your hand.
Cheers Nick!
As someone that has been a barista and a bartender ahhhhh. It’s just your coffee skills that need improving I love your stuff. You should get a separate tamp for your espresso as it needs to be even and have a lot more pressure on the the grounds. For the cold brew system the filter goes under the coffee it is useless where you put it. Though that system makes the best cold brew. Also you should try using orange with coffee especially if your doing a dark roast.
I want to say I do love your channel.
I was pretty serious until the "Turn the spout for about 4 drops every 10 seconds." I just exploded into a laugh at that. It's so fun watching someone having as much enthusiasm for beverages as me. Thank you mister Chemistry!
Hey man love the video! Cannot wait to make the first one this weekend.
One concern though and this really depends on how much you care about your espresso, but you should definitely tamp it a bit more. Consider pulling out the tamper and tamp your grounds on the table. I think it will completely change your espresso game.
Olio sacrum. Wow never thought of that. I can see my self using that in some cocktails. Cheers
Love your content man! Just came from the negative comments video and it kinda boggles my mind that people would get so aggravated with such random aspects of your videos. Also kinda weird that there’s no winning when it comes to pleasing ‘unpretentious’ people or hipsters on the other side of things. Anyway love the new format and keep it going.
I don't think I have ever had a Martini or knew you mix in Coffee Liquor. It's also a nice surprise to see a local dairy company product being used.
Espresso is when you order an espresso.
Expresso is when you tell the waiter you absolutely need caffeine like right about fucking now.
Made all 3 of these! Amazing. Such a nice add to the drink list. I did decaf where I could. Knowing this still has some caffeine. That was enough for me. Can't imagine a full joe dose.
For the cold brew I decided to try the nitro cold brew. Wanting to experience an even more smooth drink. Yeah! It was fantastic. Nitro has increased caffeine. Let's just say. That makes for an all around fun drink. Should be named All Nighter. Sleep is over rated😁😳
Thanks so much for the clips! 👏🏻
I've started using Mr. Black for my espresso martinis and they have absolutely turned out better than using alternatives. It's a great product for the price. My only wish is that they were retail around me rather than ordering online.
Thanks for the kind words Ben! Where are you based?
@@MrBlackSpirits Located in the US, Ohio specifically in one of the bigger cities.
@@BalsamicPork we hope to be there one day soon, stay tuned!
@@MrBlackSpirits I’m in Oregon and the state doesn’t seem to have it in retail yet.
@@sbrownproductions heya Scott, we are distributed in Washington but not in Oregon yet! Our online bottle shop services Oregon for the time being.
A few goods ways to make an expresso Martini and you also give me some good idea for a future cocktail!! And you make me laugh so much with Homer 😂😂 cheers!
i mean ur pro version was beyond my chemist version and that's where u lost me 😂 but holyyyy love the channel
I was expecting clarified espresso martini 😭 still a great video 🤩
"this glass coil, which is really just for show"
Mate, the whole tower is just for show.
Espect! Good one.
DUDE! That espresso tamper comes out! It's held in magnetically.
The best espresso martini I've had made without an espresso machine is Caffè Borghetti served shaken and up. No kidding. It's delicious.
Great video
Lighting to white/blue
Amazing
Oh nice, an espresso martini recipe. Perfect to finish my bottle of St. George's NOLA coffee liquor. Currently I've been using it to spike my morning cappuccinos brewed in my Bialetti
"What if you don't have an espresso machine?"
>> Surely EVERYONE has a cold brew tower just laying around somewhere! ☺️
I use a Moka Pot for my espresso. Far cheaper alternative! 👍
I’ve always been a fan of coffee cocktails
Legend!
Haha, im actually drinking an Espresso Martini right now and then your Video comes Out😅
If you like the lemon flavour with your espresso martini you should definitely try to make one with "Qahwa Gin 1528". a spain/belgian gin infused with cofee/chocolate and yuzu. Just perfect for my taste. Love your videos btw. very good stuff :)
I want that tower so badly
Absolutely lovely lighting. If it was a warmer shade of white it would definitely make you feel like you're in your bar, getting a lecture from your local bartender
You should do a video ranking liquors on different levels from sweet, sour, dry, cost, etc.
I adore espresso martini. My absolute favourite cocktail of all time. But to be honest, pro version isn't something I would enjoy as a fan, since this is a hot version. Would love to see over the top cold recipe as well!
okay, all ready to make my pro level espresso martini with homemade cold brew!
*this process should take about 8 hours*
...oh...😑
Liking the new lighting. I feel like a slomo shot of the fire woulda been premo!
Okay what the heck, Where is the Halloween cocktail episode? I got a party to mix for!
We just posted up a banger Halloween coffee cocktail episode, click through for Inspo mate!
I would love this guy making a drink for me of his choice
'Expresso'...thank you thank you thank you!!!
The Espresso Martini The best wake up cocktail.
a couple shots of espresso into the Dude's drink is pretty nice actually
Cool I have the problem with coffee liqueur that many of them are to sweet at not enough coffee -Now I do make my own coffee Snaps/vodka
I like your new lighting just like Mr Black, I like Mr Black because it isn't very sweet. Kahlua is just a syrup.
Salud🍻from mexico
rum instead of vodka? a man after my own heart
Noyaux is pronounced nwah-yo. Anyway, I'm definitely making at least the first 2 of these, LOVE espresso and martinis, what could go wrong?
You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning.
Nice lighting setup! A little harsh though you might wanna diffuse it a lil more. And a rim light would be nice too
