Thinking About a Home Renovation?

COCKTAIL HOUR

Espresso Martini

A perfect balance of rich coffee, smooth vodka, and sweet coffee liqueur, the Espresso Martini is a go-to cocktail for coffee lovers. The key to a great Espresso Martini is using freshly brewed espresso and shaking it well to create that signature frothy top.

GATHER YOUR INGREDIENTS:

100ml vodka

60ml coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa or Tia Maria)

60ml freshly brewed espresso (cooled)

20ml simple syrup (see below for how to make it)

Ice (for shaking)

Coffee beans (for garnish)

MAKE YOUR SUGAR SYRUP:

(Optional but super tasty!)

Add 100g caster sugar and 100ml water to a small saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until the sugar is fully dissolved – do not let it boil.

Once the liquid is completely clear, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Pour the syrup into a sterilised bottle or jar and store it in the fridge. It will keep for up to two weeks.

TOP TIP: For a richer flavour, try using demerara sugar instead of caster sugar for a golden syrup with caramel notes!

PREPARE:

Brew the espresso and let it cool to room temperature. You can pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the process.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup to the shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds – this is key to creating a thick, velvety foam.

Double strain into two chilled martini glasses (use a fine mesh strainer to remove any ice shards).

Garnish each glass with three coffee beans, traditionally placed in a triangular formation.

Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly balanced Espresso Martini!

DON’T LET INSURANCE GET IN THE WAY OF

Purchasing Your Dream Property

In our experience, buyers often leave insurance to the last minute when purchasing a new home, as they assume arranging it will be easy. And often, they aren’t aware that risk typically passes at the exchange of contracts, and this is when insurance should be in place. There are also all sorts of things that can trip you up and leave you without the right level of cover that you need, when you need it.

COVER AT POINT OF EXCHANGE

There are lots of potential insurance complications that can derail what seems like a straightforward sale, from a non-standard property to a property with an adverse prior history of subsidence or flooding, to an indemnity issue causing problems. And if you can’t find cover, it may adversely affect the property purchase.

By speaking to a specialist insurance broker like Howden as early as possible in the buying process, you can make sure that insurance is not a barrier to purchase and that you’re all set to go on the date of exchange.

CONTENTS INSURANCE

One thing that is easy to overlook is your contents insurance during the move. Most policies will provide some level of cover but there could be limits, such as restricting the total value of items covered or what is covered – for example jewellery might be excluded. There may also be a time limit or complete exclusion for contents being kept in storage.

Alternatively, if you’re using a removals company you may be tempted to rely on their cover. However, check the small print as it may be limited, and should you wish to top up, it could prove expensive.

PLANNED BUILDING WORKS

If you’re planning to renovate, convert or extend your new property, remember to let your insurance company know. Insurance policies have a building works condition written into the wording, and if you break this condition, you could find yourself without any cover. Larger scale works, especially if you’re not living at the property, may require an additional specialist policy.

Building works insurance can be a minefield and it’s easy to find yourself lost in a myriad of terms and conditions. That’s why you should speak to a specialist broker like Howden. We’ll translate policy wordings, explain any detail you might be unsure of and, most importantly, make sure that you have the right level of cover in place.

Remember that once you’ve finished the works, you’ll need to review your sums insured. Failure to increase them upon completion of the building work could result in your home being significantly underinsured.

INSURANCE WITH HOWDEN

Providing advice is at the heart of everything we do, so we always offer clear, sensible and independent advice about what our clients should insure and how, so you can be confident in the event of a claim. To that end, we’ll always check the small print and offer guidance on any limits and exclusions. And we’ll offer transparency and clear communication throughout the claims process.
