Coffee Whisky Cocktail: A Bold Mexican Twist on a Classic
Letâs be honestâsome 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. Thatâs 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, weâre using Ley Seca Corralejo, a bold Mexican whisky full of spice, depth, and heritage. The result? A drink that looks like midnight.
â What Makes This Cocktail Unique?
If youâve ever tried a regular espresso martini, you know itâs nice. But sometimes... nice isnât enough. It lacks Mystery.
Thatâs where Corralejo whisky comes in. This isnât just another spiritâitâs Mexican craftsmanship in a bottle. With hints of toasted oak, vanilla, and warm spices, it adds heart to the drink. Not just caffeineâbut warmth. Intensity. Character.
đ§Ÿ Ingredients
To make this cocktail, hereâs what you need:
- 50âŻml Ley Seca Corralejo Whisky
- 30âŻml freshly brewed espresso
- 20âŻml coffee liqueur (like KahlĂșa or your favorite)
- Ice
- Garnish: 2â3 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.
đ„ Why is Corralejo Whisky the best for this cocktail?
We wonât lieâthis cocktail works because Corralejo works. Itâs bold but elegant. Earthy but smooth. Sweet but spicy.
And itâs Mexican. 100%. That means every sip supports tradition, talent, and taste from LeĂłn, Guanajuato.
This isnât a random drink. Itâs an experience that could only be born from Mexicoâs boldest flavors.

â Questions You Might Have
Can I use another whisky?
You can... but it wonât be the same.
What if I donât have a cocktail shaker?
A jar with a lid works just fine! Itâs about the energy you put into it.
Is it very sweet?
Not really. The coffee adds bitterness, and the whisky adds depth. The liqueur gives just enough sweetness to balance it all out.
Do I need espresso?
Ideally yes. But a strong brew from a moka pot or French press can do the trick too.
Is this good for international menus?
Absolutely. Itâs elegant, surprising, and distinctly Mexicanâperfect for cocktail menus or events abroad.
