Ingredients:
● Kahlúa Coffee Liquor
● 1 or 1.5 oz of Grey Goose Vodka or Smirnoff
● Espresso Powder for garnishing
● 1.5 to 2 oz. Homemade Simple Syrup
● A shot of fresh Espresso or Cold Brew
● Stumptown Coffee Roaster’s Holler Mountain Coffee Beans
How To Prepare Espresso Martini? A Step-by-step Guide To The Recipe
Step 1
At first, you will need a cocktail shaker to mix all the ingredients properly for a smoother experience while having this. Pour in 1.5 oz of the Grey Goose Vodka into your cocktail shaker. After that, gradually add the cup of Kahlúa Coffee Liquor and fresh shot of Espresso into the shaker.
Step 2
While pouring in the espresso, make sure it is chilled. Before adding it, you can keep in the freezer and cool the shot of Espresso for at least 15 minutes. Once you add it, include the Simple Syrup to increase the sweetness of the Espresso Martini Recipe. Add some ice cubes into the shaker, give it a final mix with spoon, close it, and start shaking vigorously.
Step 3
Soon after 20 to 30 seconds, you will notice the outside of your cocktail shaker getting frosty. This is a very essential step, since it indicates that your martini is “perfectly shaken but not stirred”. The more you will shake, more foam will be there in the Espresso Martini.
Step 4
Now, you can double strain for a smoother blend, but it is not recommended at all. If you have a cocktail strainer, put in on your regular strainer and pour it into a coupe glass. However, the Espresso Martini Recipe does not require double straining. Bartenders often use this technique to make the drink ultra smooth and highly enjoyable.
Step 5
Finally, we will garnish the cocktail with the ingredients we have left in our hand. Trust me, a good garnish and seasoning makes everything look highly professional. Take a paper towel and cover half portion of the top of coupe glass. Dust Cocoa Powder or Espresso coffee beans to the uncovered part of the drink. For better results, use a strainer. Now, the creamy Espresso Martini recipe is ready.
