Description

The Espresso Martini is a classic cocktail made with vodka, coffee liqueur, simple syrup and freshly brewed espresso. This version comes together in just 10 minutes and makes the perfect drink to enjoy during happy hour, after dinner, or with brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 oz espresso
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1/2 oz coffee liqueur
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso & chill. Once the espresso is brewed, transfer to a fresh glass (bonus points if it’s chilled) to cool.
