Chris Montana, Co-Founder of Du Nord Social Spirits, joins us today to tell us how to make the easiest Espresso Martini out there!

The Pairing: It’s the cocktail hour, but you need a little pep in your step. If you are like our host, your mixology skills are extremely limited. You need a straightforward cocktail.. who can beat a 1:1?! The cold-pressed coffee and chicory from the Du Nord Frieda Liqueur will sing in your Martini!

How to Make a Du Nord Espresso Martini:

• 1 oz Cafe Frieda Coffee Liqueur

• 1 oz Foundation Vodka

• Small pinch of kosher salt (optional)

• 3 coffee beans

Directions: Shake all ingredients with ice for 15-20 seconds. Strain into a martini glass and garnish. Garnish with 3 coffee beans.

What Makes Du Nord Special:

• A Black-Owned brand with a diverse team working to elevate the Spirits industry as well as their community through the Du Nord Foundation. This foundation invests in economic opportunities for businesses that have been historically excluded.

• Two philosophies Chris espouses for his spirits: "If you can't drink it straight, it's not actually good," and, "If it's in a cocktail, you should know about it." All Du Nord Spirits are delicious on their own but will also stand out in a cocktail

• Du Nord means 'The North' in French and a nod to their northern roots in Minneapolis, Minnesota
