The Best Nespresso Pod For Making Espresso Martinis
BY COURTNEY BRANDT
Nespresso offers its own recommendation for the ultimate Nespresso pod to concoct an espresso martini, and it's the Ristretto Intenso.
The ristretto pods work well because they deliver a bold and intense flavor that stands up beautifully against the sweetness of the coffee liqueur and the richness of the vodka.
The cocktail needs a rich and full-bodied espresso to strike the right balance of acidity to prevent the drink from tasting bitter or sour. Ristretto Intenso strikes this balance.
