The resurgence of this well-known cocktail left us wanting to give making it at home a try. We followed a variation of Kahlua’s three-ingredient recipe. If you’re craving a super simple, quick, and delicious coffee cocktail, this Espresso Martini is it. View the video recipe below!
Equipment
A jigger, shot glass, or cocktail measuring glass
A shaker
Two martini or cocktail glasses
Ingredients
2 Oz Grey Goose, Belvedere, or Ketel One vodka
2 Oz Kahlúa coffee liqueur
(If you’re wondering “can you make an espresso martini without Kahlúa?,” yes, you can. Use whichever coffee liqueur you prefer!)
2 Oz espresso, chilled
Note: Make sure not to skimp on the espresso. If you can’t make espresso at home, order some espresso shots from your favorite local coffee shop.
To Serve
6 coffee beans
Method
Add all ingredients to your shaker. Fill shaker with ice.
Shake for 20 seconds.
Strain into two martini glasses.
Garnish each drink with three coffee beans.
Enjoy responsibly!
