Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Cocktail Strainer
- Cocktail jigger
- Cocktail glasses
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz vodka can sub vanilla vodka
- 1.5 oz white chocolate liqueur can sub Bailey's Almande
- 2 oz espresso can sub coffee
- .5 oz simple syrup
Instructions
- Build the cocktail. Add ice cubes, vodka, white chocolate liqueur, espresso and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake the cocktail. Shake vigorously for around 30-40 seconds.
- Strain, garnish & serve. Once you've given the cocktail a good shake, strain it into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with fresh whole coffee beans and enjoy.
Notes
- For a smooth, creamy top I recommend using freshly brewed espresso. Another great way to achieve a frothy espresso martini if you don't have fresh espresso available is by using a few drops of cocktail foamer. It works to create a smooth, creamy foam on top when shaken.
- Double straining the cocktail is also another way to ensure you create the creamiest possible espresso martini.
- If you're someone who suffers from IBS or other gut related issues and you'd like to make this a low fodmap cocktail, simply omit the white chocolate liqueur.
