Tips and Tricks

• You can use a quarter orange wheel slice to decorate the rim of your glass, or use dehydrated slices of orange as a floating decoration.
• Add some chocolate sauce and cocoa powder, for a delicious chocolaty orange espresso martini.
• If you are feeling extra fruity, swap your classic vodka for something more fruity, like an orange-flavored one! This will further enhance the zesty taste of the cocktail!
• If you do not have a cocktail shaker cup, you can use a glass jar! Just make sure you shake it well enough and for a longer time!
• If you do not have a cocktail measuring cup (jigger), you can just use measuring spoons or a food scale if you want to be extra precise.
• Do not throw away your used coffee grounds! You can actually reuse them and help your garden and plants at the same time. Check out our guide for reusing coffee grounds!

Decorate the glass with orange peels for that extra aroma
