After opening up for Taylor Swift on several Eras Tour dates, Sabrina Carpenter isn’t slowing down one bit. This week, the “Feather” singer announced she’s dropping a new single, “Espresso” before Coachella on April 11 at 8 PM EST. Then, she announced the “Espresso” music video will be out on April 12 at 10 AM EST. So, basically, if you’re ready to throw together a quick listening party or watch party for the forthcoming coffee-themed track, you have to try out some of these delicious and rich espresso recipes. From espresso cocktails to coffee desserts, here are the best espresso recipes for a Sabrina Carpenter “Espresso” listening party.
#SpoonTip: If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can make strong coffee in a French press, stovetop pot, or with instant coffee powder.
1. Espresso Martini (DUH!)
Taylor Swift celebrated her birthday with espresso martinis in hand, so it only makes sense to celebrate the new Sabrina track with one, too. This classic and effortlessly trendy cocktail is super easy to make and is so Instagram-worthy. Plus, you can even make it into a mocktail for the underage or alcohol-free girlies, too,
2. Affogato
An underrated coffee shop espresso drink/dessert is definitely the affogato. One shot of espresso and a scoop of vanilla ice cream is the dreamiest cup of goodness you can make as you bask in the glow of new music. You can go the extra mile by experimenting with a dusting of cinnamon or even more ice cream flavors.
