Espresso Martini Recipe

Espresso Martini Recipe

This Espresso Martini is the perfect pick-me-up in a glass—smooth, sultry, and just the right amount of caffeine to keep the night alive. It has all the glam of a classic cocktail bar without any of the hassle. Think of it as your after-dinner coffee... but with a fabulous twist!

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka
• 1 oz coffee liqueur
• 1 oz freshly brewed espresso
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• Ice cubes
• Coffee beans (for garnish)

Directions

1. Brew your espresso shot and let it cool down a little (you definitely don’t want to melt all that ice right away).
2. In a cocktail shaker, throw in some vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, simple syrup, and a handful of ice cubes.
3. Now, shake it up like you really mean it—give it about 15 to 20 seconds until it’s super chilled and has a nice frothy texture.
4. Next, strain the mixture into your chilled martini glasses.
5. For that elegant finishing touch, drop a few coffee beans on top.
