Emma Watson Makes An Espresso Martini, ‘Emma Spritz’ & 3 Other Classic Cocktails

Would Harry Potter’s Hermione Granger have a signature cocktail? Vogue finds out. Emma Watson attempts Vogue’s ‘Ultimate British Taste Test,’ as she prepares five thirst-quenching cocktails, each with an Emma-twist. True to head girl form, British Vogue’s January 2024 cover star Emma Watson came prepared with a notebook filled with ‘copious notes.’ “Look, there’s diagrams, there’s amounts… This is true to me: I love learning, and I love note-taking.” Emma Watson — who co-found sustainable gin brand ‘Renais’ with her younger brother, Alex Watson — opted to personally shake-up a series of cocktails, from an Espresso Martini (a drink reportedly inspired by forever London girls Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell) to the affectionately named ‘Emma Spritz.’ Watch Emma Watson’s Ultimate British Taste Test as the English actress delivers a cocktail masterclass and makes 5 classic cocktails.

Edward, my first cocktail that I have to make

is an espresso martini

and I feel like of all of the human beings in the world,

you might know this piece of information,

which is that apparently it was created

for either Naomi or Kate.

They walked into a bar and said that they wanted a cocktail

that would pick me up and [bleep] me up.

[Edward] I don’t know about that,

but I’m definitely gonna find out.

Please, please.

[Edward] I like that story.

We have to know.

We need to know the truth.

[upbeat music]

Hi, British Vogue.

I’m Emma Watson and this is the ultimate British taste test.

I’m excited and terrified,

mostly excited to see if I can do this.

I’ve made copious notes.

Look, there’s diagrams, there’s amounts.

This is true to me.

I love learning and I love note taking.

We’re gonna be making Emma’s espresso martini

with chocolate.

I like sweet things.

And I’m gonna put a tiny bit of salt in there as well.

Step one, making the glass cold.

I only found this out yesterday, I’m not gonna lie to you.

This is called the pony and this is called the jigger.

So we’re gonna do one pony of an espresso shot.

So this is going in.

Then we are also gonna balance that with sugar syrup.

Vodka is what we have next.

We’re gonna do two parts to the other part.

Lots of vodka basically.

This is what makes it an Emma espresso martini.
