Equipment

First, you’ll need a cocktail shaker to mix everything well.
A shaker with a built-in strainer makes things cleaner.
Next, grab a set of measuring jiggers to ensure the right amounts.

It’s also handy to have an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker for fresh espresso.
Finally, you’ll want a martini glass for serving. Chilling the glass in advance helps keep the drink cold. 🍸

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need.

Start with 2 ounces of vodka. Look for a smooth brand for the best results.

Add 1 ounce of coffee liqueur like Kahlúa, for a rich, sweet coffee flavor.
Prepare 1 ounce of fresh espresso; this is crucial for a strong taste.
Finally have some ice cubes ready for shaking and three coffee beans for garnish.

This combination brings a perfect balance of flavors, both bold and sweet. ☕

Instructions

Let’s get started!

Begin by pouring the vodka, coffee liqueur, and freshly brewed espresso into your shaker.
Next, add about a handful of ice cubes.
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds to chill the mixture well.

Strain the mix into a chilled martini glass to keep it cold.
Top it off by floating three coffee beans on the surface.
This is both a garnish and a nod to tradition, symbolizing health, wealth, and happiness. 🎉

Notes

Keep these tips in mind. Use fresh espresso for the best flavor. Its aroma and richness elevate the drink.

Don’t have an espresso maker? You can use strong cold brew or concentrated coffee as an alternative. Adjust the sweetness by tweaking the amount of coffee liqueur to match your taste.

Feel free to explore with flavored vodkas for a unique twist. Enjoy experimenting and find what suits your palate best!

Tasting Notes

I absolutely love the bright and bold flavors of an espresso martini. It’s a delightful mix that makes my taste buds dance. 🍸

First, there’s the rich coffee aroma. It hits me right away, giving the drink a classic smell that is hard to resist. This immediately sets the stage for what’s coming.

When I take a sip, the smooth espresso taste fills my mouth. It’s strong but not too overpowering, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The vodka’s smoothness also shines through, giving the drink a clean finish.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the taste:

Coffee: Strong and bold
Sweetness: Just the right amount

Bitterness: Adds depth and complexity
Smoothness: Thanks to the vodka

Creamy foam on top is like the cherry on a sundae. It adds a silky texture with every sip. Plus, it gives the drink a polished look. 🌟
