1
Prepare the Glass
If you prefer a sweet rim, moisten the rim of a chilled martini glass with a little water or a slice of lime. Dip the rim into sugar to coat it evenly. Set aside.
2
Brew the Espresso
Brew a shot of fresh espresso and allow it to cool slightly, ensuring it is hot but not boiling when you mix it with the other ingredients.
3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, crème brûlée liqueur, and ice cubes.
4
Shake the Mixture
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
5
Strain into Glass
Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared martini glass, ensuring a smooth pour without any ice shards.
6
Garnish
Garnish the drink with three coffee beans placed in the center of the frothy surface for an elegant touch.
7
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously crafted Espresso Martini!
