Sip in the Holiday Spirit with MNS Candy Cane Espresso Martini
'Tis the season to indulge in festive flavors and heartwarming moments. What better way to celebrate than with a Maddie's Natural Sweetener (MNS) inspired treat? Introducing our latest concoction - the MNS Candy Cane Espresso Martini.
This delightful beverage marries the rich, robust flavor of espresso with the sweet, guilt-free embrace of Maddie's Natural Sweetener. It's the perfect drink to savor as you relax by the fire or celebrate with loved ones.
Crafted with simple, natural ingredients, this martini starts with a shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee, chilled to perfection. We blend in two packets of Maddie's Natural Sweetener and a touch of organic cacao powder, ensuring each sip is sweetly balanced without the heaviness of artificial sweeteners or excess calories.
Then, we add the cheerful kick of vodka, a swirl of coffee liquor, and your choice of milk (our favorite is unsweetened almond milk for a smooth finish). A dash of peppermint and vanilla extract brings in the holiday cheer.
After a vigorous shake over ice, this festive martini is ready to be poured into a chilled glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of cacao or crushed candy cane for that extra touch of holiday magic.
