The Lady Behind CHIN-CHIN`s Espresso Martini: Sarah Elst
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 Chin-Chin: 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 using the finest beans from Dinzler`s Roastery, Irschenberg)
Shaken hard until a silky, fluffy crema appears, then topped with three coffee beans – a classic symbol of happiness, 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 practically never loses her cool. Colleagues claim you never see her without a smile. And that’s exactly what makes the difference – with her, every drink, every evening, and every visit feels just that little bit more special.
Thank you, Sarah – for being you, for your team and for your 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 here`s 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”.
