Espresso Martini Recipe

Hi friends! Recently I've been experimenting with cocktails because Luke bought us a cocktail shaker set a while back and I'm loving it! I always wanted to learn how to make cocktails and now I am. This recipe is for an espresso martini (it makes 2 servings). It's not perfect, but I like how it turned out! Next time, I will shake it more to get more foam.

Espresso Martini Recipe - by asheycakes

Serves 2 glasses

Ingredients/What You Will Need

• A cocktail shaker (or jug to shake)

• Espresso coffee machine (French Press probably works too). I used two standard coffee pods in our machine (then cooled them).

• 80mL of Kahlua (or you could use other coffee liquours).

• 80mL of Vodka

• 40mL of espresso

• Coffee beans to garnish

Method

Step 1: Make an espresso, then set aside to cool. Coffee machines work best for this as you get the foam on top. I think you might be able to sub in an egg white if you don't have a coffee machine.

Step 2: Once the espresso is cool, add vodka, Kahlua, and espresso into your cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously (as this helps foam it up too) for about 20 seconds.

Step 3: Strain into a glass. Garnish with coffee beans and enjoy :)
