Description

The Espresso Martini is a sophisticated cocktail that combines the bold flavors of freshly brewed espresso, vodka, and coffee liqueur. This rich and creamy drink is perfect for coffee lovers and makes an excellent after-dinner cocktail or a classy addition to any celebration.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
  • 1 oz freshly brewed espresso (chilled)
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnish: 3 coffee beans (for the classic “health, wealth, and happiness” look)

Instructions

  1. Brew a fresh shot of espresso and let it cool slightly.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup if desired.
  3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to create a frothy texture.
  4. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
  5. Garnish with 3 coffee beans and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best results, use freshly brewed espresso and good-quality vodka.
  • Adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of simple syrup or omitting it entirely.
  • If you don’t have a shaker, use a mason jar with a lid as an alternative.
