Ingredients

Directions​

  • Brew a fresh espresso shot and allow it to cool for 1–2 minutes to preserve the cocktail’s balance.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice cubes.
  • Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, cooled espresso, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  • Seal tightly and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well-chilled and a thick, velvety foam forms.
  • Double-strain (using a Hawthorne strainer and fine mesh) into a chilled martini glass to achieve a smooth texture without ice shards.
  • Garnish with three coffee beans floated on the foam—symbolizing health, wealth, and happiness.
  • Serve immediately for optimal foam and temperature.

Tip

The hallmark of the best espresso martini lies in the vigorous shake, which aerates the mixture and creates the iconic creamy crema layer—use freshly pulled espresso for superior flavor and foam stability. For variations, experiment with flavored vodkas or adjust the simple syrup to tailor sweetness, ensuring this espresso vodka martini remains a standout among espresso cocktails.
