National Martini Day is celebrated annually on June 19, and it’s an opportunity for classic cocktail lovers to summon their inner James Bond and sip on their favorite shaken or stirred gin or vodka-based chilled martini.
Ube Espresso Martini
At Sunda New Asian, which has locations in Chicago River North, Chicago Fulton Market, Nashville and Tampa, Ube Espresso Martini is made with 1800 Reposado, Mr Black Coffee Liqueur, and ube milk.
Sunda New Asian CEO/Founder Billy Dec: “Since opening my first nightclub in my first year of law school at 22, I’ve been loving espresso at night to stay awake as I’ve always worked until very late.. I also grew up with my family from the Islands of the Philippines, with Filipino food cooking 24/7, including dishes made with a delicious purple yam called Ube, used in a lot of Filipino desserts… so it is incredibly meaningful and delicious to bring these tasty worlds together at Sunda!”
