Elevate Your Cocktail Game with a Homemade Crafted Espresso Martini Recipe
I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my life more enjoyable. And what’s more enjoyable than an after-work cocktail? One of my personal favorites is an espresso martini, which to me brings together my favorite thing, coffee. You can make an espresso martini that rivals those served at upscale bars or restaurants with just a few simple ingredients.
Please allow me to walk you through the steps involved in making a homemade espresso martini, from choosing the best ingredients to shaking it in your very own shaker
To start, you will need a few key ingredients. Here’s what you will need to make two servings of espresso martinis.
Ingredients
4oz Freshly Brewed espresso/ dripped coffee
4 oz vodka
2oz Kalua is my favorite or alternative coffee liqueur.
Ice Cubes
Cocktail Shaker
Strainer
Martini glasses.
Coffee Beans (optional)
Once you have all of the ingredients, you may begin mixing. Here is a how-to for creating the ideal homemade espresso martini:
Instructions
Brew your espresso or strong coffee and allow it cool. An alternative used store-bought coffee or coffee concentrate. I usually use my Moka pot for making my espresso.
Fill your cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Added the cooled espresso, vodka, and Kahlua to the shaker.
Close the shake and shake vigorously for about 5-15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
Strain the mixture into martini glasses.
You can garnish your cocktails with a few coffee beans.
Note: If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can use more espresso or coffee liquor.
That's all, then!
