Add some juiciness to your Espresso Martini with this peach recipe
A peach-themed twist on the beloved drink

While many variations on this beloved drink opt to add sweet cake-y flavors like vanilla, caramel, or cream, a different option is to lean into the fruity notes to add sweetness.

Combining coffee and fruit can be challenging, as both can have an astringent note which doesn't always play well when mixed together and amplified. However, many specialty coffees do boost fruity notes, and it's not uncommon to come across flavors of berries, stone fruits, or citrus in coffees, especially among the lighter roasts which are popular in trendy coffee shops today.
