Espresso Martini
Ingredients
- 1 oz espresso or very strong coffee
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz coffee liqueur
Instructions
- Brew the Espresso. You can use any espresso machine or even brew a super strong coffee in your coffee machine. Typically I use our Ninja coffee system specialty setting.
- Let it cool. I like to let the coffee cool a bit before making this drink.
- Shake It Up. Place the espresso, vodka, and Kahlua or your preferred coffee liqueur in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Strain + Serve. Strain the espresso martini into a cocktail glass. I love my coup glass for martinis lately. Garnish with 3 coffee beans or a dusting of ground coffee—but honestly, I like it without a garnish.
