A sip of darkness. A swirl of sweetness. ✨ 🍯 ☕️ 

This is the Honey Black Widow Espresso Martini - a dangerously smooth Halloween cocktail made with bold espresso, silky vodka, and a hit of Hilltop Honey.

Shaken, not stirred… and finished with a spooky twist (we’re talking marshmallow spiderwebs, of course). 🕸️ 👻 Would you dare try it this spooky season? Here’s the recipe ⬇️


You will need:

40ml vodka

20ml coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)

25ml fresh espresso (cooled slightly)

15ml Hilltop Honey syrup (made by mixing 2 parts honey with 1 part hot water)

2–3 drops black food colouring (optional, for that midnight magic)


Method:

Pour vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, and Hilltop Honey syrup into a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice. Add a few drops of black food colouring for that deep, dramatic look. Shake hard for 20 seconds until icy cold and frothy.

Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a spooky touch.
