- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
- Ice
Method
Step 1
Chill the martini glass: Place a martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill it, or run it under cold water.
Step 2
Brew and chill the Espresso: Prepare a shot of Espresso or a strong coffee. Allow the coffee to cool completely before preparing your cocktail. To speed up the chilling process, place your coffee in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Prepare the cocktail shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice cubes.
Step 4
Add the ingredients: Pour the Vodka, freshly brewed and chilled Espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup into the shaker. Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your desired sweetness level.
Step 5
Shake vigorously: Firmly secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. The aim is to mix the ingredients and create a frothy texture.
Step 6
Strain and pour: Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass. The strainer will catch the ice and any coffee grounds, ensuring a smooth and clean pour.
Step 7
Garnish: Add three coffee beans on top of your cocktail.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy: Serve the Espresso Martini immediately while it’s still chilled and frothy.
