Espresso Martini

by Adam K. Cooking time ~5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 shot (30ml) fresh espresso
• 2 shots (60ml) vodka
• 1/2 shot (15ml) coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
• 1/4 shot (7.5ml) simple syrup (optional)
• Ice cubes
• 3 coffee beans

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, combine the espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup if using. Fill the shaker to the brim with ice to ensure maximum aeration and minimal dilution.

Shake hard and fast ;) for 15-20 seconds. It needs to be harsh in order to get required foam.

Double-strain through a strainer and a fine-mesh tea strainer into a chilled martini or coupe glass. Garnish by placing three coffee beans on top of the foam. CHERERS back to index
