Reimagining the Espresso Martini with Australian Flair
Our Roast Wattle, Cacao & Honey Syrup is not just an alternative; it's an elevation. Infused with the earthy tones of wattleseed, the deep richness of cacao, and the natural sweetness of honey, this syrup adds an Australian twist to the classic Espresso Martini. Its unique flavour profile introduces a new dimension to the cocktail, making it an instant standout in any mixologist's repertoire.
The Espresso Martini: A Brief History
The Espresso Martini has a storied history, born out of the creative flair of London's bartending scene in the 1980s. Created by legendary bartender Dick Bradsell, it was a response to a model's request for a drink that would "wake me up, and then f**k me up." This cocktail quickly became a symbol of sophistication and a staple in the global cocktail culture.

TROLLEY'D ROAST WATTLE, CACAO & LOCAL HONEY COCKTAIL SYRUP
Infuse your cocktails with the essence of Australia using our Roast Wattle, Cacao & Redgum Honey Syrup, made from the finest native ingredients. Before you begin, ensure you have sterilised bottles ready for storing your homemade syrup, ensuring longevity and flavour preservation.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp Roasted Wattle Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Cacao (Our convenient cocktail kits combine these ingredients into a ready-to-use pre-mix packet. For more details on our kits, click HERE.)
- 60g Redgum Honey (or a vegan honey alternative)
- 500ml Filtered Water
Method:
Step 1: Gently toast the wattle seeds and cacao in a dry pan, taking care to avoid burning. Once aromatic, remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: In a heavy-based saucepan, combine the honey and water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Stir in the toasted wattle and cacao blend. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by about half, concentrating the flavours.
Step 3: Once the syrup has reduced, remove the pan from heat. Allow the mixture to cool, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into your sterilized bottle. Stored in the refrigerator, your syrup will retain its flavours for a few weeks.
Additional Step for the Enthusiastic: For an extra touch, dehydrate the marc (the residue of honey-soaked seeds and nibs) in an oven overnight. Subsequently, infuse this dehydrated marc into alcohol of your choice to extract every bit of flavor. Dry it out once more, then blitz it into a fine powder to create an aromatic garnish for your drinks.
Step 4: With your syrup ready, it's time to elevate your cocktail game. Whether you're crafting a unique Espresso Martini, let the creativity flow and the good times roll...
