Recipe: Orange tiramisu martinis

You can’t pass up a dessert cocktail on a winter’s night! These orange tiramisu martinis are an indulgent way to enjoy a night in.

They’re very easy to make and use ingredients you’ll already have in the pantry.

Use decaf coffee if you prefer no caffeine - but whatever you do, make sure your espresso is well-chilled before you shake the cocktail with ice. Nobody wants a lukewarm, watery cocktail!

Cheers!
