9Honey's Quarantine Kitchen cook-along: The whipped dalgona coffee espresso quarantini

You made it through another week of socially distant, quarantine lockdown, working from home, homeschooling life! Cheers to you, for navigating this isolated and somehow close quarters world of COVID-19.

And, today, I mean cheers in the literal sense, because our Quarantine Kitchen cook-along this afternoon is for your cocktail hour. It's two awesome social media trends combining to become something even more trendy... or perhaps a super trend?

You will have seen plenty of people toasting themselves and each other with quarantinis — you know?! A quarantine martini. Yes, it's clever, I know. But you might have also clocked the dalgona whipped coffee trend, turning hot water, sugar and instant coffee into a fluffy pillow of coffee foam. Well, we thought it was time the two of them got together to make the ultimate Friday night espresso martini — a dalgona coffee espresso quarantini.
