Oakham Nub News has teamed up with a regular reader to share a regular 'Cocktail of the Week' feature, including classics, reinventions of familiar favourites and some crazy concoctions unique to Nub News.

This week's cocktail is a really tasty mix that makes for a great after dinner tipple, the Amaretti Martini.

Complete with coffee, a popular after dinner aperitif and topped with whatever chocolate you have in the cupboard, we challenge you not to love this one!

Ingredients: 

• 50ml strong coffee
• 50ml amaretto
• 50ml amaretto velvet/creme or 25ml single cream
• maple syrup

Method:

1. add your coffee, amaretto, amaretto velvet/creme or cream into a shaker over ice
2. add as much maple syrup as you like to make the cocktail sweeter - we added about 1 tsp
3. shake hard until the coffee is cooled and your mix is completely chilled
4. strain into a coupe or martini glass
5. top with whatever chocolate you have in your house or a sprinkle of cocoa powder

Hint - we had this with amaretto creme liqueur/velvet, but if you can't get hold of this, cream works just fine.
