Espresso Martini

The Espresso Martini is a rich and energizing cocktail made with vodka, freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa), and simple syrup. Shaken until frothy and served in a chilled martini glass, it has a smooth, bold coffee flavor with a hint of sweetness. Often garnished with coffee beans, this sophisticated drink is a favorite for coffee lovers and a perfect pick-me-up for an evening out.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Woodborne Spirits Vodka
  • 1 oz freshly brewed espresso (cooled)
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
  • Ice
  • Coffee beans (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the espresso: Brew a shot of espresso and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the Woodborne Spirits Vodka, cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup (if using).
  3. Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
  4. Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
  5. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with a few coffee beans on top for a classic touch.
