Espresso Martini

Method

Espresso Martini

1

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Before pouring, drizzle about 1 tsp chocolate syrup inside the glass in a spiral or zigzag pattern, then place the glass back in the freezer briefly while you mix the cocktail.

2

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz Tito's Handmade Vodka, 1 oz Owen's Espresso mix, 0.5 oz coffee liqueur, and 0.5 oz simple syrup (or an extra 0.5 oz chocolate syrup if you prefer a sweeter, chocolate-forward drink) into a cocktail shaker.

3

Optional espresso

If you want extra coffee intensity and crema, add 0.25 oz freshly brewed espresso (cooled slightly) to the shaker. This is optional because Owen's mix may already be concentrated.

4

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. A hard shake chills the mixture quickly and creates a foamy crema from the espresso.

5

Double-strain into glass

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass using the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer (this removes tiny ice chips and ensures a smooth surface for garnish).

6

Garnish and serve

Float three coffee beans on top of the foam (traditionally arranged in a line or triangle). Serve immediately.
