  • 20ml (2/3 oz) espresso coffee , cooled
  • 3 coffee beans , garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the vodka, kahlua and espresso in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Shake vigorously 10 times, then pour briskly into a cocktail glass. (Scrape out foam inside if necessary)
  3. Garnish wtih 3 coffee beans and serve immediately.

Notes

  • TIPS:
  • Recipe source: Absolut Drinks (makers of Absolut vodka(
  • Cool the coffee so it doesn't melt the ice = won't dilute drink flavour
  • Espresso coffee from a proper coffee machine = nice crema (foam) on coffee = nice foam layer on surface of Espresso Martini
  • Can't get foam on Espresso Martini with coffee granules, French Press coffee marker or similar. Need a proper machine!
  • No coffee machine? Cheat! Add 1/2 egg white and shake, it will create a gorgeous foam layer but you will not be able to taste it at all!
  • Need foam for the coffee beans to float!
