Rich, smooth, and just a little bit indulgent, the Cacao Canela Espresso Martini is where dessert and cocktail hour decide to become friends. The heart of this recipe is Cacao con Canela, our warming blend of rich cacao, cinnamon, and gentle chile, inspired by the long tradition of spiced cacao drinks enjoyed throughout Mexico.

When paired with bold espresso and the mellow notes of reposado tequila, the blend creates layers of chocolate, coffee, warm spice, and subtle earthiness that feel both familiar and unexpected. The result is a cocktail that’s cozy enough for a cool evening, sophisticated enough for guests, and delicious enough to blur the line between after-dinner drink and dessert.

With just a few ingredients and a quick shake, you’ll have a velvety cocktail that looks elegant in the glass and tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did.

Drunken Duck Tip: A light dusting of extra Cacao con Canela on top adds aroma, flavor, and just enough flair to make people think you know what you’re doing.
