The Best Baileys Flat White Martini Recipe for Coffee Lovers
This is a super simple one, very closely related to the Espresso Martini, yet it it has a softer, more velvety texture.
The flat white is an Aussie coffee favorite, whilst Baileys Irish Cream is the beautiful creamy kicker guaranteed to kick off (or end!) your evening.
I used to be an ‘on the rocks’ kinda girl when it came to Baileys, until this little gem came into my life (OK, and we finally invested in a Nespresso machine – why did I delay this purchase so long!!)
It is a classy, elegant, slightly creamy drink that can be spruced up to suit your tastes.
The froth on the top is perfected by shaking for just the right amount of time without vigorously going over the top!
For the perfect garnish a few coffee beans, but if you’re using pod coffee at home, I know this can be a tall ask!
