Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Start by brewing a fresh shot of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use strong coffee as a substitute.

  2. 2

    Chill Your Glass

    Fill your martini glass with ice water to chill it while you prepare the cocktail. This will ensure your drink stays cold longer.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the freshly brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.

  4. 4

    Shake Vigorously

    Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will help to froth the espresso and chill the mixture.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Empty the ice water from the chilled martini glass.

  6. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass. Use a fine mesh strainer if you want to remove any coffee grounds or ice shards.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish your espresso martini with 3 coffee beans placed on top for presentation.
