BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI

If you like coffee, you are going to love this martini. The vanilla vodka is a must but I've made many of them without the creme de cocoa.

Categories     Beverages

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 fluid ounces Kahlua
1 1/2 fluid ounces brewed espresso (regular or decaf)
3 fluid ounces vanilla vodka
1 1/2 fluid ounces Creme de Cacao
heavy cream or half-and-half (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill a cocktail shaker 2/3 full with ice.
  • Add ingredients and shake well until very cold.
  • Strain into a martini glass.
  • In a plastic bottle with a narrow tip (candy melts bottle from a craft store or a picnic ketchup bottle from the dollar store), add some heavy cream.
  • Starting from the center of the drink, start a spiral and cirle to the outside of the glass.
  • Then take a stirrer or a toothpick and starting in the center of the drink, drag the stirrer to the edge of the glass.
  • Return to center of the drink, and repeat procedure in"pie segments" to make a"web" with the heavy cream (or make any design that you'd like).
  • Wow, after my second espresso martini tonight, that was rough describing-lol.
  • Of course, the heavy cream is optional but it does make it look so pretty.
  • Just be careful how many of these you consume because, like a spider lures it's prey-- you get the picture.

Tips:

  • Use Freshly Brewed Espresso: Freshly brewed espresso has a richer flavor than espresso that has been sitting around. It is best to use espresso that was pulled within the last 30 minutes.
  • Chill Your Ingredients: All of the ingredients in an espresso martini should be chilled before shaking. This will help to create a smooth, frothy cocktail.
  • Use a Good Quality Vodka: The vodka in an espresso martini should be of good quality. A smooth, unflavored vodka is best.
  • Shake Vigorously: The espresso martini should be shaken vigorously for at least 10 seconds. This will help to create a frothy top.
  • Garnish with Coffee Beans: A few coffee beans make a classic garnish for an espresso martini.

Conclusion:

The espresso martini is a delicious and sophisticated cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are a coffee lover or not, you are sure to enjoy this classic cocktail.
