Velvety, boozy, and with just the right jolt of caffeine, the espresso martini has become the darling of cocktail menus everywhere. But guess what? You don’t need to chase down a mixologist or spend heavily to enjoy this classic. With a few simple ingredients and a good shake, you can whip up a rich, frothy espresso martini at home that might just ruin all others for you.
All you need is vodka, coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa), a shot of freshly brewed espresso, and a touch of simple syrup if you like it a bit sweeter. Shake everything over ice until it’s cold enough to wake the dead, then strain it into a chilled martini glass. Don’t forget the signature three coffee beans on top—they’re not just for looks; they represent health, wealth, and happiness. It’s indulgent, it’s invigorating, and best of all, it’s entirely in your hands. Ready to stir up some magic? Let’s get brewing.
