Here’s the full drinks menu for Cork’s first Espresso Martini Festival

These look outrageously tasty.
We’ve had a sneak peek at the full menu for Cork’s first ever Espresso Martini Festival and it’s basically all our chocolate, booze and coffee dreams come true.
It’ll be first come, first served at the Franciscan Well Brewpub on the day (it’s free to attend and you don’t need a ticket if you get there early) so make a beeline for the North Mall if you want to enjoy the demos and workshops that will run all afternoon on Saturday, November 23rd.
The Coffee Cupping class (3pm) will see Three Fools Coffee showcase a selection of their coffees and help you to taste the difference between different origins, processes and varietals of coffee.
At 4pm you can learn how to make the perfect espresso martini, while later at 5pm you can be there for the launch MONK’s first beer brewed by Shane Long, (founder of the Franciscan Well) – a coffee stout in collaboration with Three Fools.
Most importantly, there’ll be a never-ending supply of mouthwatering espresso martinis to choose from all day and late into the night, whether your favourite is a classic or a ‘rum and raisin’.
