Inspired by Star Wars Day – “May the 4th be with you.”
Inspired by the occasion, we’ve created a simple yet elegant Dark Side Serve, drawing from the rich, bold beauty of this Irish Poitín Espresso Martini.
Dark, smooth, and irresistibly indulgent—this is a serve that commands attention. After all… who couldn’t be inspired?
For the perfect serve, we recommend:
Serve well chilled in a coupe glass, finished with a velvety crema and a few coffee beans for garnish.
Top Tip: A strong, fresh espresso and a vigorous shake are key to achieving that signature creamy top.
