Elevate your cocktail game with the perfect Espresso Martini!
Step 1: Gather your ingredients. You'll need 1 shot of espresso, 1 shot of vodka, 1 shot of coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua), and a dash of simple syrup or sugar syrup.
Step 2: Brew a strong shot of espresso and let it cool down to room temperature. This will ensure a rich coffee flavour in your martini.
Step 3: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the shot of espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and a dash of simple syrup.
Step 4: Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will create a frothy texture and blend all the flavours together.
Step 5: Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. The strainer will remove any ice chips or coffee grounds, giving you a smooth and velvety martini.
Step 6: Optional: Garnish your martini with a few coffee beans or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
Step 7: Sip and savour the perfect balance of coffee and spirits. Enjoy the rich, bold flavours of this classic cocktail!
Remember, the key to a perfect Espresso Martini lies in using quality ingredients and achieving the right balance. Experiment with different coffee beans, vodka brands, and coffee liqueurs to find your personal favourite.
