Coffee Whisky Cocktail: A Bold Mexican Twist on a Classic

Let’s be honest—some cocktails are just... fine. They do their job, they taste okay. But every once in a while, you stumble upon a drink that tells a story. That’s what this coffee whisky cocktail is all about.

We took the classic espresso martini and gave it something it never knew it needed: soul. Instead of vodka, we’re using Ley Seca Corralejo, a bold Mexican whisky full of spice, depth, and heritage. The result? A drink that looks like midnight.

☕ What Makes This Cocktail Unique?

If you’ve ever tried a regular espresso martini, you know it’s nice. But sometimes... nice isn’t enough. It lacks Mystery.

That’s where Corralejo whisky comes in. This isn’t just another spirit—it’s Mexican craftsmanship in a bottle. With hints of toasted oak, vanilla, and warm spices, it adds heart to the drink. Not just caffeine—but warmth. Intensity. Character.

🧾 Ingredients 

To make this cocktail, here’s what you need:

• 50 ml Ley Seca Corralejo Whisky
• 30 ml freshly brewed espresso
• 20 ml coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa or your favorite)
• Ice
• Garnish: 2–3 coffee beans, a dusting of cacao, or a twist of dried orange.

 How to Make It

1. Brew the Coffee

Make a strong espresso shot. If you don't have a coffee maker, a soluble coffee, but keep in mind that it won't taste as good.

2. Shake

Add the whisky, espresso, and coffee liqueur into a shaker with ice. Around 15 seconds.

3. Strain

Double strain into a chilled martini glass. You want that silky foam on top.

4. Decorate with Intention

Place a few coffee beans, a light sprinkle of bitter cocoa, or a slice of orange on top.

🥃 Why is Corralejo Whisky the best for this cocktail?

We won’t lie—this cocktail works because Corralejo works. It’s bold but elegant. Earthy but smooth. Sweet but spicy.

And it’s Mexican. 100%. That means every sip supports tradition, talent, and taste from León, Guanajuato.

This isn’t a random drink. It’s an experience that could only be born from Mexico’s boldest flavors.
