Dida’s – We hope to see you soon!

We have been busy behind the scenes creating an impressive new menu and the place is looking fantastic.

In the meantime, we hope you are enjoying a cocktail or two at home. The team are busy working with the Glengarry crew picking and packing orders - including those for cocktails at home. So do jump onto the Glengarry website and order your ingredients today.

May we suggest an Espresso Martini at home? As a cocktail an Espresso Martini is a relatively new creation with many cocktails having an impressive long and evolved history. The Espresso Martini came onto the scene in London in the 80s. Now somewhat of a global sensation, we have two suggestions for making this at home.

The first is a hot favourite as it’s super easy and works every time. Harpoon Espresso Martini in a bottle ready to go. At this point if you are reading this and thinking, pre-made, that can’t be good. Believe us, it is exceptional.

Harpoon Cold Brew coffee together Quick Brown Fox have created a bottled Espresso Martini. Each bottle will pour you three Martini. The trick is to take your glass, pour three glasses to halfway up and leaving the rest in the bottle. Then shake the bottle and pour the froth on top. That’s the trick for Espresso Martini’s at home without needing any cocktail equipment.

For those who would like to make it from scratch.

Ingredients - Finlandia, Quick Brown Fox Coffee Liqueur, Harpoon Espresso Concentrate

Place 40ml Finlandia, 20ml Quick Brown Fox Coffee Liqueur, and 40ml Harpoon Espresso Concentrate into a shaking vessel. Add ice and “shake it off” vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into your glass or pour all the contents into your glass.

You’ll find the pre-made Espresso Martini and all the ingredients to make these at home on the Glengarry website.
