Description
A blend of coffee and vanilla flavors with a smooth buttery finish you will love to sip with friends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1– 1 1/2 ounces home-brewed or pre-made cold-brew espresso
- 2 ounces espresso vanilla vodka
- 1/2 ounce Kahlùa
- 1/4 ounce (or short squirt) simple syrup
- 2–3 espresso beans for garnish
Instructions
If you are making your own espresso with a machine at home, I recommend brewing a single espresso shot and letting it sit out to cool a bit. If you are using pre-made cold brew, you are all set.
- First, fill a metal cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add 2 ounces espresso vanilla vodka, 1/2 ounce Kahlùa, 1 to 1 1/2 ounces espresso, and 1/4 ounce of simple syrup (if you are into estimating, this is approximately a “short squeeze” from the bottle).
- Then close the shaker and shake it vigorously until the outside of the shaker is ice cold (and you can see the frost on the outside).
- Pour the martini into a chilled glass through the strainer of the shaker, leaving the ice behind in the shaker.
- Drop 2-3 espresso beans onto the top of the drink and serve!
Notes
- Chill your martini glass by filling it with ice water while you make the drink. Pour the icy water out, and then put the drink in the ice-cold glass.
- As mentioned, you can substitute the espresso vanilla vodka for another flavored vodka, such as vanilla, coffee, or caramel flavored vodka.
- I purchase simple syrup to keep things easy, although you can make your own or use agave or honey mixed with hot water to make a sweetener. Check out how to do this here: Food.com
