☕ How to Make an Espresso Martini

Rich, smooth, slightly bitter, and perfectly balanced — this espresso martini recipe feels like a coffee date and cocktail hour combined.

50ml vodka 35ml coffee liqueur 30ml fresh espresso Ice cubes Coffee beans for garnish

Cocktail shaker Martini glass Freshly brewed espresso Strainer

Brew a fresh shot of espresso and let it cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.

Fill your cocktail shaker generously with ice cubes.

Add vodka, coffee liqueur, and espresso into the shaker.

Shake aggressively for 15–20 seconds until frothy and chilled.

Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with coffee beans.

Use freshly brewed espresso — instant coffee won’t create the same rich foam.

Shake harder than you think. The foam comes from aerating the espresso properly.

Chill your martini glass beforehand for a smoother drinking experience.

Want it sweeter? Add a small splash of vanilla syrup.
