Espresso Martinis are having a moment, and Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is joining in on the libations. In partnership with BIGFACE, Butler’s American lifestyle and coffee brand, BACARDÍ and Butler present an exciting take on this sophisticated classic by replacing vodka with rum.
“It wouldn’t be an afternoon in Miami without BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho,” Butler says, debuting BIGFACE’s Cafe Con Ocho in an Instagram video demonstrating his mixology skill. Bold notes of nutmeg and vanilla notes from BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho provide a layered flavor that blends perfectly with coffee.
Ingredients:
1 oz BIGFACE Coffee La Paz Espresso
0.75 oz Proper Salted Caramel Syrup
2 oz BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho
Directions: Add all ingredients to a shaker tin with ice. Shake vigorously and strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with an orange wheel.
Luckily, you don’t need Jimmy Butler’s bartending finesse to enjoy this delicious recipe. Launching this week, BIGFACE’s Cafe Con Ocho debuts at top spots across Miami and South Florida, including COTE Miami, 1 Hotel South Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, and local favorite Café LaTrova. Treat yourself to this rich cocktail that gives you the perfect pick-me-up and a delicious buzz.
