Method
Espresso Martini Preparation
- 1
Brew the Espresso
Start by brewing a fresh cup of espresso using your espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Ensure that it is hot and strong for the best flavor.

Chill the Glass
While the espresso is brewing, chill your martini glass by filling it with ice water. Let it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the freshly brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, simple syrup, and a cup of ice. Make sure to cap the shaker tightly.

Shake the Cocktail
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will chill the drink and create a frothy texture from the espresso.

Strain and Serve
Remove the ice water from the martini glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass. Use a fine mesh strainer if necessary to ensure a smooth pour.

Finally, garnish your Espresso Martini with three coffee beans placed on top of the frothy surface for an elegant touch.
