When it comes to Mother's Day, I am not big on presents. A lie in, a homemade card and not having to cook dinner and I am pretty happy. When Bailey's asked me if I would like to make my own flat white martini for Mother's Day, I happily agreed. I have long been a Baileys fan. However, I usually drink it straight on ice. Oh and maybe the odd Baileys truffle.


The flat white martini is currently one of the top selling cocktails in Selfridges' Forest bar. Whilst I am no Tom Cruise, the recipe is simple so I was happy to give it a go.

Ingredients:

50ml Baileys Original Irish Cream
25ml espresso
25ml vodka
Ice cubes

3 coffee beans to garnish

Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake until chilled. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with 3 coffee beans.


Beautifully smooth and creamy. A perfect treat for Mother's Day, or a Friday come to that matter!

Do you have special plans for Mother's Day? Have you tried a flat white martini, if so what do you think?
