Espresso Martini Recipe
Description
This cocktail recipe combines 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of coffee liqueur, 1 ounce of freshly brewed chilled espresso, and 1 ounce of simple syrup made by dissolving sugar in water. These ingredients are shaken vigorously with ice for 30 seconds, which cools the mixture and produces foam on the surface.
The cocktail is then strained evenly into two martini glasses and garnished with three coffee beans per glass to enhance aroma and presentation. The foam arises naturally from machine-brewed espresso. If using other coffee methods, additives like egg white or cocktail foamer can be used to produce a similar foam.
This recipe yields a classic, balanced espresso-flavored cocktail with a creamy mouthfeel and is good served immediately after preparation.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa
- 1 ounce espresso see notes, chilled
- 1 ounce simple syrup see notes
- 6 coffee beans
Instructions
- Fill your cocktail shaker half full with ice. Add the vodka, coffee liquor, espresso, and simple syrup.
- Secure the lid then shake for about 30 seconds to work up the foam.
- Strain into two martini glasses and garnish the cocktails with 3 coffee beans.
Notes
- Use machine-brewed espresso for natural foam; for other coffee types, add an egg white or cocktail foamer to achieve foam on top.
- Simple syrup can be made by heating 1 tablespoon sugar with 2 tablespoons water until dissolved; sweeteners like honey or maple syrup may be used instead.
