Curly Wurly Caramel Espresso Martini

Description

The Curly Wurly Caramel Espresso Martini is a grown-up twist on the beloved Cadbury Curly Wurly a the long, thin, chewy caramel bar coated in milk chocolate. Launched in the UK in 1970, the Curly Wurly became a school lunchbox favourite thanks to its playful design and sticky, sweet chew.

This cocktail takes that indulgent combination of caramel and chocolate and blends it with the sophistication of the classic Espresso Martini. The result is a nostalgic dessert drink that feels both fun and luxurious, the kind you could happily sip in a cocktail bar or serve at a playful dinner party.
