Espresso Martini Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Start by brewing a fresh cup of espresso. Allow it to cool slightly while you gather the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shaker

    In a cocktail shaker, add a handful of ice cubes to chill the ingredients as you mix.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the freshly brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup into the cocktail shaker over the ice.

  4. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass to avoid any ice shards.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish your espresso martini with three coffee beans placed on top for an elegant touch.
