A rich and luxurious espresso martini combining freshly brewed espresso with smooth vodka and coffee liqueur, perfect for a quick, elegant cocktail at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) freshly brewed espresso
  • 2 oz (60 ml) vodka
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Kahlúa or coffee liqueur
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) simple syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • 3 coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew one shot (about 1 oz / 30 ml) of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Chill your martini glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker about 3/4 full with ice cubes.
  4. Add 2 oz (60 ml) vodka, 1 oz (30 ml) coffee liqueur, 0.5 oz (15 ml) simple syrup, and the cooled espresso shot to the shaker.
  5. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to create a thick, frothy layer on top.
  6. Remove ice from the chilled glass if used ice water. Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the cocktail into the glass to keep ice shards out.
  7. Garnish with three coffee beans on the frothy surface and serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly brewed espresso cooled slightly to avoid diluting the drink. Shake vigorously for a thick frothy top. Chilling the glass enhances the experience. Substitute simple syrup with flavored syrups or agave nectar for variations. Coconut cream can be added for a dairy-free creamy version. Use quality vodka and coffee liqueur for best flavor.
