Ingredients

  • 1 ounce (30ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 ounce (30ml) vodka
  • 1 ounce (30ml) Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
  • 1 ounce (30ml) Godiva Chocolate Liqueur optional
  • ½ ounce (15ml) pasteurized egg white optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a cocktail shaker (or a glass jar) with ice.
  2. Pour in the espresso, vodka, Kahlua, Godiva, and egg white (if using).
  3. Shake vigorously until chilled and frothy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Strain out the ice and pour the cocktail into a martini glass. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pop your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving to keep your cocktail colder longer.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso if possible, but strong brewed coffee works fine too.
  • Shake the cocktail shaker well for about 30 seconds to mix thoroughly and froth the egg white if used.
  • Double-strain the mixture for a smooth, silky texture.
  • Garnish with coffee beans for a classic look or add cocoa powder, shaved chocolate, or cinnamon for a festive touch.
  • Experiment with different liqueurs by swapping out Kahlua with other coffee liqueurs or try Frangelico or Amaretto for a nutty twist.
  • Opt for high-quality vodka and liqueurs for the best taste.
  • Serve your espresso martini immediately after shaking to enjoy its full flavor and frothy top.
  • For a sweeter cocktail just add ½ ounce of simple syrup, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, or Creme de Cacao.
  • Friends, these sweet cocktails go down soooo easily, so make sure to drink responsibly and be mindful of your consumption.
