The classic espresso martini receives a playful, zero-proof makeover with the Espresso Maíztini. This inventive cocktail from Richard Sandoval’s Art of Zero-Proof guide swaps traditional spirits for Ritual Zero-Proof Rum and a unique, buttered popcorn-infused coffee liqueur. Cold brew and a touch of corn syrup build a rich, smooth base. Finally, a fragrant clove and cinnamon foam elegantly crowns the drink. This recipe delivers the bold, cozy flavors of the original in an entirely new way.
