Espresso Martini Cocktail Recipe

An Espresso Martini is a classic cocktail perfect for coffee lovers—the blend of coffee and vodka makes for a great drink. Ideal for parties or after a delicious meal.

Ingredients

• 50 ml Vodka
• 30 ml Coffee Liqueur (Kahlua)
• 50 ml Freshly Brewed Espresso
• 1 tsp of Sugar Syrup (optional)
• Ice
• 3 Coffee Beans, for garnish

Preparation

• Firstly, prepare a fresh espresso and let it cool slightly.
• Fill a shaker with ice and add vodka, coffee liqueur, the cooled espresso and sugar syrup if desired.
• Shake well until the outside of the cocktail shaker feels cold.
• Strain into a chilled martini glass, ensuring to catch any small ice shards.
• Garnish the martini with coffee beans and serve immediately.

Serving

• Espresso Martini is best served chilled. Pop the glass in the fridge for a few minutes before serving. This cocktail makes a great after-dinner drink. But remember, drink responsibly!
