The Woman Behind the Chin-Chin Espresso Martini: Sarah Elst

If there’s one drink in Regensburg that has achieved cult status, it’s our Espresso Martini. Creamy, elegant, full of character – and long since a signature of the Chin-Chin. But behind every signature drink, there’s a face, a story, and a passion. For us, that’s Sarah Elst – bar manager from day one and the heart of our bar.

 

 

The Drink That Conquered Regensburg: The Chin-Chin Espresso Martini

No story about Sarah would be complete without the drink that is inseparably linked to her and the Chin-Chin: the Espresso Martini. As Sarah herself says, “The perfect Espresso Martini isn’t rocket science, but it does require love, timing, and the right recipe.

👉And here’s her secret (which isn’t really a secret anymore – because we want to celebrate it!)

  • 4 cl Vodka

  • 2 cl coffee liqueur (Kahlua)

  • 1 cl Sugar syrup - naturally homemade

  • 1 Freshly brewed espresso (made from the finest beans by Dinzler Roastery, Irschenberg)

 

Shaken hard until a silky, fluffy crema appears, then finished with three coffee beans – a classic symbol of luck, health, and prosperity. The result? A drink that wakes you up, looks irresistible, and is one of Regensburg’s most sought-after cocktails.

 

A smile to remember

Anyone who knows Sarah knows one thing: she’s almost impossible to ruffle. Colleagues claim it’s impossible to see her without a smile. And that’s exactly what makes the difference – with her, every drink, every evening, and every visit feels just a little bit more special.

 

Thank you, Sarah – for you, for your team, and for the Espresso Martini.

Here at Chin-Chin, we’ve been lucky to benefit from Sarah’s expertise, passion, and energy for over a decade. She’s much more than a bar manager – she’s the heart of our bar and the spirit behind our signature cocktail

Thanks, Sarah, for all the years – and to the next ten!

Where Hotel and Bar Become One

In 2015, we turned a big dream into reality: opening our very first boutique hotel, after running a 70-room hotel in Regensburg from 2007 to 2012. A year later, we brought our favourite bar to life. The hotel became “Hotel Bohemian”, and the bar – naturally – “Chin-Chin”.
