We Made TikTok's Parmesan Espresso Martini And The Results Were WEIRD

We Tried TikTok's Parmesan Espresso MartiniDelish

Yes, you read that right. A Parmesan Espresso Martini.

We love parmesan, and we love an Espresso Martini. But together?! Surely not.

Yet, the internet continues to surprise and delight us with creations like this, so we obviously had to test it out at Delish HQ.

But first, where did this trend even come from?

The first instance we can find of the drink is on the TikTok account of a self-professed "cocktail guy" Jordan Hughes AKA @highproofpreacher.

He posted the video last month, and since then it's gained over 250,000 views and 10,000 likes. Other cocktail aficionados have recreated the drink in response, and it's safe to say it's had mixed reviews.

While Jordan says it's "kind of awesome" and other creators say while it's "overhyped" they "would drink again," when we tried it, we found the texture to be absolutely bizarre, and the parmesan added nothing more than a weird textural vibe and ever-so-slightly salty taste.

In her taste test, our Delish chef Chloe said the coffee totally overpowered the taste of the parmesan, and you're just left with a bit of saltiness and the texture of the cheese.

She said if you're after a coffee cocktail, you're better off sticking to the OG (which we've got an amazing recipe for, by the way) and that the current trending version of the drink felt like a "drunken mistake." Have you tried the drink, do you love it? Let us know..
