Espresso Martini Ingredients
Method
Espresso Martini Directions
Brew the Espresso
Start by brewing a fresh cup of espresso. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
Prepare the Shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add about 1 cup of ice cubes to chill the mixture as you shake.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the freshly brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup into the shaker over the ice.
Shake Vigorously
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will froth the espresso and chill the mixture.
Strain into Glass
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass to ensure a smooth texture without ice shards.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with 3 coffee beans placed on top of the foam. Serve immediately and enjoy your Espresso Martini!
