2 oz vodka 1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa) 1 oz fresh espresso, cooled 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional) Coffee beans for garnish
Brew fresh espresso and let it cool slightly before using so it won’t melt the ice and weaken your cocktail’s bold coffee flavor.
In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup for sweetness if desired. Add plenty of ice.
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 20-30 seconds until the shaker feels frosty and the espresso forms a rich foam.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass, watching the creamy espresso foam settle beautifully on top.
Garnish with three coffee beans placed in the center, the classic espresso martini finishing touch for a stylish look.
Sip and enjoy the smooth, bold mix of coffee and vodka — perfect for an evening treat or an after-dinner dessert drink.
This espresso martini delivers rich coffee flavor, smooth sweetness, and a little kick — the ultimate classy pick-me-up cocktail!
Jamie’s style is Californian since the technique is rooted in traditional French cooking, but the flavors are inspired by Latin and Asian food and locally sourced ingredients.
