Just what I expected! Not too sweet for us. I used Vanilla Vodka. Also, I used Moka Pot espresso. Made the simple syrup with the exact proportions as the recipe indicated.
NOTE: to make this properly note that the sugar is 2X the H20. And the martini recipe only uses a little bit of the SS you've made!
Made half a recipe of both SS and the martini recipe. Used the amount of Amaretto called for in the recipe, but couldn't taste it - so next time I'll double that. My husband and I discussed using, Kahlua, coconut rum, or a creamy chocolate liqueur in place of the Amaretto.

Made this for my girlfriend one night and we both liked it, but it was a bit too sweet. I will definitely make it again, but will cut down on the amount of suger used in the syrup..... That or add more vodka!
