The espresso martini shows no signs of slowing down. But to add a little twist to the classic, try using rum to make this iconic beverage.
The rum adds a complex, warm finish, with hints of vanilla standing out. A sprinkle of sea salt balances the bitter and sweeter flavors of the espresso and rum. While no single flavor dominates the drink, the resulting martini is filled with intricate undertones that add depth in each sip.
About Kasama Rum
Named after the Filipino term for “together,” Kasama brings a refreshing addition to the rum category. Unlike your typical tropes associated with old-school rum brands, Kasama is devoid of spicy flavors or pirates on the label. Instead, the brand offers a golden rum that highlights notes of sweet pineapple, a hint of vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt. Kasama is distilled in the Philippines and bottled at a family distillery in Poland, where it is aged 7 years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels.
