Mexican Espresso Soda 

TGIF!  What a week, busy-busy early mornings with one too many late nights make this girl cranky.  I’ve been running on overdrive this week and relying heavily on this Mexican Espresso Soda to keep me moving through my 2pm shut-down, sleep deprived, lack of energy crash.

I first made this espresso soda when I hosted a family brunch. I featured an espresso bar using this recipe as the base and set out coffee liquors, vodka, tequila and rum so everyone could customize their own espresso soda.  My little brother LOVED it along with my eldest niece who has recently been hit by the coffee bug.  I knew this week was going to be extra busy, so I whipped up a batch of the espresso base, stashed it in the fridge with a bottle of club soda and presto!

My 2pm crash stands no chance.

Soda de Espresso estilo Mexicano  

TGIF!  Qué semana, mañanas tempranas-ocupados ocupados con demasiadas noches tardes hacen de esta chica que estar en un mal humor. He estado corriendo a toda marcha esta semana y confiando pesadamente en este Soda Espresso estilo Mexicano para mantenerme en movimiento a través de mi falta de sueño, la falta de energía en el choque de las 2pm.

La primera vez que hice este refresco espresso era cuando organicé un almuerzo familiar. Ofrecer un bar espresso usando esta receta como base y puse licores de café, vodka, tequila y ron para que todos pudieran personalizar su propio refresco espresso. Mi hermano pequeño le encantó, junto con mi sobrina mayor, que recientemente se ha visto afectada por el insecto de amor por el café. Sabía que esta semana iba a ser muy ocupado, así que hice un lote de la base de espresso, lo puso en el refrigerador con una botella de agua mineral y ¡listo!
