Espresso Martini Ingredients

Method

Espresso Martini Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Garnish

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