Beyond the Martini - Grada Recipes

Beyond the Martini - Grada Recipes

Florence Diffey

Grada is a naturally processed single-farm coffee, fortified with Australian grain spirit. It's that simple. 

For those after a perfect and effortless espresso martini every day of the week, shake some Grada over ice - nothing else required.

However, to quote the very clever creators at Worksmith:
"There is a world beyond the espresso martini... [Grada] replaces workaday coffee liqueurs – often based on average quality beans, additional flavours and intense sweetness"

Grada is just as enjoyable served on a cube of ice as it is shaken in a martini, but here are some of their genius specs for when you are feeling particularly fancy:

  • JUNGLE BIRD
    15mL GRADA COFFEE + SPIRIT
    40mL DARK RUM, 15mL CAMPARI
    15mL SUGAR SYRUP

    SHAKE & STRAIN OVER ICE IN A ROCKS GLASS + GARNISH WITH A LIME WEDGE.
