Method
Espresso Martini Preparation
Brew the Espresso
Brew 60 ml of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Allow it to cool slightly.
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Strain and Set Aside
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Set aside while preparing the gelato.
Gelato Preparation
Scoop Gelato
Using an ice cream scoop, place 1 cup of vanilla gelato into a serving dish or bowl.
Pour Espresso Martini
Carefully pour the prepared espresso martini over the scoop of gelato. The hot espresso will melt the gelato slightly, creating a delicious combination.
Garnish
Garnish with a few coffee beans on top for presentation.
