Vai's Espresso Martini Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Chill Your Glass

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

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of vanilla vodka, 1 oz of Kahlua, 1 oz of creme de cacao, and 1 oz of cold brew espresso.

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the shaker with ice, ensuring there's enough to properly chill the mixture.

4. 4

   Shake Well

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will chill the mixture and create a frothy texture.

5. 5

   Strain into Glass

   Remove the ice water from your chilled martini glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish your espresso martini with 3 coffee beans placed on top for an elegant finish.
