FROSTED MIDNIGHT MARTINI

Description: This batch recipe blends the bold intensity of 4:1 cold brew concentrate with the rich coffee liqueur Borghetti, the smoothness of Wheatley vodka, and the vanilla-citrus warmth of Licor 43. Blended to a slushy consistency, it yields a perfectly balanced, medium-sweet frozen espresso martini—aromatic, uplifting, and decadently refreshing. Serve this in a coupe or Nick & Nora glass for an elegant presentation. Batch Ingredients (yields approximately 20-24 servings, adjust as needed): - 64 oz 4:1 cold brew concentrate - 32 oz Wheatley vodka - 20 oz Borghetti coffee liqueur - 10 oz Licor 43 - 16 oz simple syrup (1:1; add more or less to taste for medium sweetness) - 24 oz cold filtered water (to dilute batch for both flavor balance and freezing; adjust for strength) - 10 cups ice (for blending in batches; see below) - Optional: 1 tsp sea salt (to amplify flavors and balance bitterness) Preparation: 1. Combine all liquid ingredients and sea salt in a large container. Stir well to integrate. 2. Chill the entire batch in the freezer for at least 3 hours (alcohol and coffee will slow freezing, but keep very cold). 3. When ready to serve, working in blender batches (about 4 servings per batch): add 12 oz of the premixed base and 2 cups of ice to the blender. Blend until velvety and slushy. 4. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired—add more simple syrup if needed. 5. Pour into chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glasses. 6. Garnish with three coffee beans for tradition or a twist of orange for brightness. Glassware: Chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass Serving Tip: Prepare the batch in advance and keep chilled; blend to order for the freshest and silkiest frozen texture. Perfect for brunches, parties, or any spirited gathering.
