Espresso Martini

ESPRESSO MARTINI

{ CREATED IN LONDON’S SOHO BY BARTENDER DICK BRADSELL, THE ESPRESSO MARTINI MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE COCKTAIL. WHEN MADE CORRECTLY, IT’S SMOOTH AND INDULGENT WITH A CREAMY FROTH ON TOP, FEATURING JUST A TOUCH OF SWEETNESS. THE CAFFEINE KICKER MAKES IT EASIER TO HAVE TWO, OR POSSIBLY FOUR }

Contributor: K C Cornwell

{ INGREDIENTS }

2 shots vodka

1 shot coffee liqueur

1 shot espresso

Ice

Coffee beans, for garnish

{ METHOD }

Fill a martini glass with ice to chill it.

Pour the vodka, liqueur, and espresso into a cocktail shaker with fresh ice, and shake aggressively.  Remove the ice from the martini glass, and strain the cocktail into the chilled glass. Garnish with a few coffee beans and enjoy!

Some people choose to add a sugar rim, dress it up with chocolate sauce, or add simple syrup to sweeten the cocktail. Personally, I’m an Espresso Martini purist who sticks to the original formula, but I encourage you to experiment. The only non-negotiable is using a good-quality espresso shot: that’s absolutely necessary here.
