How to Make the Ultimate Cinnamon Swirl Cocktail: A Tequila Espresso Martini

Welcome to another Don Levi Tequila Cocktail Creation, inspired by the Espresso Martini; The Don Levi Cinnamon Swirl combines the smooth, crisp flavour profile of Don Levi Blanco Tequila with the warmth of cinnamon and richness of espresso with a creamy texture, all combining to make a perfect cocktail during the autumn or winter or by any coffee lover looking for something indulgent.

Here’s how to create this irresistible and warming cocktail.

50ml Don Levi Blanco Tequila: The perfect tequila (in our opinion) to be the smooth base of this cocktail, adding depth and richness.

20ml Cinnamon Syrup: Adds a warm, spicy sweetness that complements Don Levi Blanco perfectly.

10ml Sugar Syrup: To add a subtle sweetness and round off the flavours.

Shot of Espresso: The espresso provides a bold, rich flavour that pairs wonderfully with cinnamon and Don Levi Blanco Tequila.

Cinnamon Stick: For garnish, adding an aromatic touch.
