Espresso Rum-Tiki

If you’re on the hunt for a cocktail that effortlessly combines bold coffee notes with the vibrant, tropical flavors of tiki, look no further than the Espresso Rum-Tiki. This delightful creation comes from Adam Wild, the talented mixologist behind @drinksbywild


This cocktail features a blend of rums and is elevated by cold brew concentrate, which adds caffeine and enhances coffee’s earthy richness. A splash of orgeat brings a creamy, nutty essence, while falernum adds sweetness and spice, evoking sunny shores. A dash of bitters completes the drink, adding aromatic complexity.


Gather your ingredients, shake up this delightful blend, and let the tropical and coffee flavors transport you to a sunny paradise with each sip.
