The espresso martini, also known as a vodka espresso, is a cold caffeinated alcoholic drink made with espresso, coffee liqueur, and vodka. It is not a true martini as it contains neither gin nor vermouth, but is one of many drinks that incorporate the term martini into their names.

🍽️ Ingredients:-

1. 2 ounces vodka

2. 1/2 ounce coffee liqueur
(usually Kahlúa)

3. 1 ounce espresso, freshly
brewed (or cold brew concentrate)

4. 1/2 ounce simple syrup

5. Garnish: coffee beans

Method

1. Start by making the sugar syrup. Put the caster sugar in a small pan over a medium heat and pour in 50ml water. Stir, and bring to the boil.
2. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Put 2 martini glasses in the fridge to chill.
3. Once the sugar syrup is cold, pour 1 tbsp into a cocktail shaker along with a handful of ice, the vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur. Shake until the outside of the cocktail shaker feels icy cold.
4. Strain into the chilled glasses. Garnish each one with coffee beans if you like.
