Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 ml Vodka
- 25 ml Coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
- 25 ml Freshly brewed espresso
- 5 ml Simple syrup
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 3 pieces Coffee beans (for garnish)
Instructions
Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, coffee liqueur, freshly brewed espresso, and simple syrup.
Add the ice cubes to the shaker and seal it tightly.
Shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds to chill the mixture and create a frothy texture from the espresso.
Discard the ice water from the martini glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass using a fine-mesh strainer to ensure a smooth, crema-like layer on top.
Garnish the drink with three coffee beans, placing them gently on top of the frothy layer.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sophisticated Vodka Espresso!
