Perfect gift for the Espresso Martini fan: Espresso Martini candles
When it’s cold and dark outside, I love lighting as many candles as possible indoors. You could almost call my living room one giant altar. Now I’ve discovered a fantastic addition to my candle collection: Esma candles. Candles shaped like an Espresso Martini, that is.
You can rightly call that a must-have for Espresso Martini fans like me. Add one more real Esma and those bleak winter months suddenly don’t seem so bad. Just be careful not to put the candle to your mouth instead of the cocktail in your Esma-siasm. The flame should be a clear signal, but hey: I don’t know how many Esmas you get through on an evening like that or what state you’re in by then.
One Esma, please
Sounds great, you think. But where do you buy this? At houwtje-touwtje.com! The candle comes in a cocktail glass and is finished with a few coffee beans. It doesn’t smell like an Espresso Martini, by the way: the candle is unscented. It’s yours for €16.95. I think this is a top gift for the December season. If not for yourself (for example, because you simply find the Espresso Martini an annoying cocktail), then for a close Esma lover. Because we all know one of those, right?
If your budget for the Sinterklaas-Christmas evening happens to be a little more generous, I recommend a real Espresso Martini machine for home. I could give you a whole speech about why you should have one as an Esma fan, but I think it speaks for itself. Esmas coming off the assembly line—that really gets us feeling warm around here.
