Espresso & Alcohol = A perfect cocktail mix! One sip and you’ll see what all the hype is about this trending cocktail. An espresso martini is the perfect blend of a sweet, creamy coffee flavor with just a little bit of an added kick.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1/2 ounce coffee liquor, Kahlua
  • 1.35 ounce espresso
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso and let it cool completely.
  2. Add all the ingredients, except the espresso, to the cocktail shaker (mason jar).  Shake very hard!  Scoop the ice out.
  3. Add the espresso and shake again.  The harder you shake the frothier it will get!
  4. Strain into a martini glass.  Serve with 3 coffee beans as a garnish.  Enjoy!

Notes

*My Nespresso brews 1.35 ounce.  You can always do just an ounce for a little less strong cocktail.  And if you made extra you can always make it stronger and do 1.5 ounce.  Many recipes do use more.  I used what my machine made 🙂

*I added all the ingredients except the espresso with the ice to the mason jar.  I then strained the ice and added the espresso in.  Multiple times when I added the ice, the froth would cling to the ice and you wouldn’t get all the froth.  This was in a mason jar.  It may be different in an actual cocktail shaker.  I’ll report back once I buy one 🙂
