Espresso Martini

The Espresso Martini combines vodka, coffee liqueur, and freshly brewed espresso or cold brew concentrate shaken together to produce a smooth, frothy cocktail. The cold, rich coffee flavor blends with the sweetness of simple syrup and the warmth of vodka, resulting in a balanced drink with a slight bitterness from the espresso. Its garnish options, such as coffee beans or a dusting of cocoa powder, add a subtle aromatic finish.
