Espresso Martini

Method

Espresso Martini

  1. 1

    Chill the glass

    Place a chilled martini glass in the freezer for about 5 minutes to ensure the drink stays cold.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    Into a cocktail shaker, add vodka (60 ml), Kahlua (30 ml), freshly brewed espresso (60 ml), and simple syrup (10 ml).

  3. 3

    Shake with ice

    Fill shaker with ice (4 cubes). Secure lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled and foamy.

  4. 4

    Strain and serve

    Double strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass to remove ice shards and obtain a smooth pour.

  5. 5

    Garnish and enjoy

    Optional: garnish with 3 coffee beans or a light dusting of cocoa powder. Serve immediately.
