We’ll show you how to create this simple, easy to make espresso shot.
More sunshine, longer days and warmer weather are some of the reasons why I love spring. There’s so much to look forward to in the coming weeks, especially if you like staying outdoors and putting away the heavy jackets. I enjoy hanging out with my buddies on the patio sipping cocktails and enjoying meaningful conversation.
Sometimes I find it a little bit difficult to decide on what beverages to serve at parties during this season. Most times, we will just fall back on serving wine and iced tea, or simply water with lemon. Lately, I’ve been concocting refreshing beverages that don’t take up too much time or require a long grocery list. It’s fun to have a drink that captures the essence of the season or one that draws inspiration from a country like France – where folks spend hours in cafés, enjoying life and conversation.
The French Crème Brûlée Espresso Shot, a flavorful espresso is created with a romantic scent and the spring elements of France. So, if you need a last minute non-alcoholic beverage for your party, read on, and I will show you how to create this simple, easy to make espresso shot.
