Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Ketel One Vodka, 1 oz of Coffee Liqueur, and 1 oz of Kahlua.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, ensuring it's packed well to chill the ingredients effectively.

  4. 4

    Shake

    Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice water from your chilled martini glass. Use a fine mesh strainer to pour the cocktail mixture into the glass, ensuring a smooth pour without any ice shards.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Finally, float three coffee beans on top of the drink for garnish. This adds a nice touch and a hint of aroma.
