The FOVE Espresso by Mathieu Gravel

Dive into the sophisticated and bold universe of the Espresso Martini reimagined by Mathieu Gravel, head mixologist at CABU – Boire et manger. Featuring the Amber Acerum FOVE, this contemporary take on the classic stands out from the often overly sweet recipes that tend to diminish the complexity of the ingredients used. This cocktail combines the bitterness of espresso with the herbal notes of our Amber Acerum. The cocoa adds a gourmet touch that pairs beautifully with the coffee nuances. Each sip reveals a perfect balance between the invigorating espresso and the woody, slightly sweet complexity of the Amber Acerum. A cocktail that is both rich and comforting, ideal for after meals or evenings when you want to savour something special.
