The Espresso Martini is a beloved cocktail known for its invigorating mix of coffee and alcohol, making it a perfect pick-me-up for any occasion. This variation adds a twist of vanilla, enhancing the smooth and aromatic profile of the drink. Whether you're looking to impress guests at a dinner party or simply indulge in a luxurious treat, this Vanilla Espresso Martini is sure to deliver both flavor and flair.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Coffee Liqueur
- 2 oz Vanilla Vodka
- 2 oz Coffee
Instructions
Chill Your Glass:
- Begin by placing a Martini glass in the freezer to chill. A cold glass will help maintain the temperature of the cocktail, keeping it crisp and refreshing.
Mix Ingredients:
- In a cocktail shaker, add a generous amount of ice. The ice cools the ingredients quickly and adds a slight dilution, which is necessary for balancing the flavors.
- Pour the coffee liqueur, vanilla vodka, and freshly brewed espresso over the ice. The coffee liqueur and espresso provide a deep, rich coffee flavor, while the vanilla vodka adds a sweet, creamy undertone.
Shake:
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. Shaking not only chills the drink but also aerates the espresso, creating the cocktail’s signature frothy top.
Strain and Serve:
- Strain the mixture into the chilled Martini glass. The fine strain should ensure a smooth pour without any ice shards or coffee grounds.
- The drink should have a frothy layer on top, adding a touch of elegance and texture.
Garnish:
- For an added touch of sophistication, garnish with a few coffee beans on the surface of the froth. This not only looks attractive but also enhances the coffee aroma as you sip.
