With Mothering Sunday approaching we thought we would share with you our favourite cocktails for the mums, grandmothers, step mothers and generally all the special ladies in your life! 

With this year being different and many of us not being able to celebrate together why not share a zoom and cocktail together instead.  

The Espresso Martini. 

Ingredients
65ml vodka
75ml coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua or Tia Maria)
75ml freshly brewed espresso
6 coffee beans

Chill 2 Martini glasses. Put the vodka, coffee liqueur and freshly brewed espresso into a lidded jam jar or cocktail shaker with a handful of ice. Using hot espresso helps to create a creamy head on the cocktail.
Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until well-chilled, then strain into the glasses. Top each with 3 coffee beans, if you like.

60ml prosecco or sparkling wine, chilled
