Ingredients

  • 1 oz vodka any brand
  • 1.5 oz Baileys Original Irish Cream or any Irish cream
  • 1 oz espresso freshly brewed is my favorite
  • ½ - 1 cups ice for shaking only
  • Garnish: 3 coffee beans

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the vodka, Baileys Irish cream, and espresso to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and vigorously shake until well-chilled and a foam layer is formed. I used this to measure the ingredients.
  2. Strain into a martini glass. You can chill the glass if desired.
  3. Garnish with 3 coffee beans. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Irish Cream: You can use any type of Irish cream for this espresso martini recipe. I love Baileys original or their espresso creme flavor. However, feel free to use one of these brands instead: Kerrygold, Coole Swan, Saint Brendan’s, or Five Farms.
  • Decaf: You can also use decaf espresso or coffee if you would like to enjoy this espresso martini without caffeine.
  • No Cocktail Shaker: You can use a sealable mason jar filled with ice or a water bottle.
  • Instant Coffee: NO! Don't use it! The flavor will not be the same. 
  • Espresso: For the best coffee flavor, I recommend using espresso. However, you can certainly use brewed coffee instead. Don’t use instant coffee!
