Trident Honey Martini: A Bourbon Coffee Cocktail
October 11, 2026 2 min read
Coffee Cocktails
Trident, Costa Rican Honey is a honey-processed coffee. After the cherries are picked and the skin is removed, part of the sticky fruit layer is left on the bean while it dries. The result sits between washed and natural: caramel, brown sugar, milk chocolate, and dried fruit, with a silky body and a bright but rounded finish.
Those notes are already halfway to a cocktail. Bourbon brings its own caramel and vanilla, so it meets the coffee instead of fighting it. A small pour of coffee liqueur deepens the roast, and a quarter ounce of honey syrup ties the drink back to the way the beans were processed. A tiny pinch of salt and an orange peel on top keep the whole thing from going flat.
Brew the coffee stronger than you would drink it and let it cool all the way. A drink this smooth needs the coffee to stand up to the bourbon.
Cocktail

- Serves 1
- Time 5 min
- Base Trident, Costa Rican Honey, brewed strong and cooled
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz bourbon
- 1 1/2 oz Trident, Costa Rican Honey, brewed strong and cooled
- 1/2 oz coffee liqueur
- 1/4 oz honey syrup, or to taste
- 1 tiny pinch of sea salt
- To garnish a wide strip of orange peel and 3 coffee beans, or a light dusting of dark chocolate
Method
- Chill a coupe or martini glass.
- Add the bourbon, coffee, coffee liqueur, honey syrup, and salt to a shaker filled with ice.
- Shake hard for 15 to 20 seconds.
- Strain into the chilled glass.
- Express the orange peel over the surface, then garnish with the coffee beans or a little dark chocolate.
For the honey syrup, stir equal parts honey and warm water until dissolved, then let it cool. Start with less if your coffee liqueur is on the sweet side, and taste before you pour the second round.
About the honey. Honey process is a drying method, not an ingredient. No honey is added to the coffee at any point. The honey in this drink is a cocktail addition, a small one, chosen because it suits what the process leaves behind in the cup.
