Beyond the Espresso Martini: 3 Elevated Coffee Recipes by illy for Aperitivo Hour

Illy

We all get into our routines—the same old, same old coffee brew in the morning. There’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes I feel more creative and want to explore new recipes to mix things up. Coffee doesn’t have to be boring, especially when there’s a world of possibilities out there. From bourbon and maple to honey, chocolate, and matcha, a few unexpected ingredients can transform espresso into something that feels more like a specialty café creation.

As aperitivo season approaches, illy shared three exciting cocktail and coffee recipes that put a fresh spin on the traditional pre-dinner ritual – perfect for entertaining, hosted happy hours, and seasonal sipping. If you’re also feeling like something new in your coffee routine, here’s how you can make them at home.

The best bourbons over 100 proof

Every journey has to start somewhere. No bourbon beginner knows everything about the whiskey style. Even if they read a book or two, there’s always more to learn. A book can’t actually smell and taste the spirit for you, can it? You need to refine your palate by sampling different bourbons over many years. You also don’t start your bourbon exploration by knowing every term and measurement. A good example is the term “proof”.

When I first started sampling whiskey more than twenty years ago, I would see a spirit listed as 80-proof or 90-proof and not really know what it meant. After a bit of research, I learned that a whiskey’s “proof” is double its alcohol by volume. That means that if a whiskey is 40% ABV, it would be listed as 80-proof. A 45% ABV spirit is 90-proof. Seems pretty simple, right?

These Protein Pops Sold Out in 8 Hours. It’s Easy to See Why

Earlier this year, Protein Pints expanded for the first time with Protein Pops. They were made available online. Within eight hours of the initial launch, the entire online inventory sold out. The company behind this summer’s healthy snack sensation says that the incredible sellout exceeded online sales projections by more than 10x. With such high demand, Protein Pops eventually found its way into Sprouts Farmers Market. And, yes, they sold out pretty quickly.

On the heels of such high demand, Protein Pops is now making its way into two of the country’s biggest retailers. Good luck trying to get your hands on these boxes when they land at Target and across Kroger stores on Sept. 13, bringing the bars to more than 4,000 retail locations across the country.
