Equipment

  • 1 Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Martini glass
  • Strainer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 oz 45 ml vodka
  • 1 oz 30 ml coffee liqueur (such as KahlĂșa)
  • 1 oz 30 ml freshly brewed espresso, cooled to room temperature
  • 1/2 oz 15 ml simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Brew the Espresso:

  • If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add the simple syrup to the shaker as well.
  • Close the shaker securely.

Shake It Up:

  • Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This helps chill the ingredients and create a frothy texture.

Strain and Serve:

  • Strain the contents of the shaker into a chilled martini glass. If you don't have a strainer, you can pour the cocktail directly from the shaker into the glass, being mindful of any ice cubes.
  • Garnish the Espresso Martini with a few coffee beans or espresso beans for an elegant finishing touch.

Enjoy Responsibly:
