1

Chill your glass

Before you start preparing your garnish, place a martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. We want that cocktail to stay perfectly cold!

2

Lemon twist

Take a fresh lemon and use a vegetable peeler to remove a thin strip of zest. Make sure to avoid the white pith, as it can add bitterness. Twist the lemon peel gently around a bar spoon to create an elegant spiral.

3

Chocolate rim

Melt some chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip the rim of your chilled martini glass in the melted chocolate, ensuring that the chocolate coats the outer edge. Let any excess chocolate drip off, and then place the glass upright to allow the chocolate to set.

4

Coffee bean skewer

Take 2-3 coffee beans and thread them onto a small cocktail skewer. You can get creative here and combine different types of beans for a visually appealing effect. Place the skewer across the rim of the glass, allowing the beans to rest on top.

5

Whipped cream swirl

Using a piping bag or a spoon, add a generous swirl of whipped cream to the center of your martini. Be as fancy as you like; feel free to experiment with different patterns or even sprinkle some cocoa powder on top!
