What’s In An Espresso Martini?
- Vodka: I used absolute vodka but any brand will work. You can also swap out with tequila for a stronger drink.
- Coffee Liqueur: I used Kahlua for this coffee martini recipe but you can also use Bailey’s.
- Coffee concentrate: Any kind of coffee concentrate will work, cold brew or Owen’s espresso martini mix.
- Marshmallows: You can use any brand or size of marshmallows for the spider webs garnish.
- Ice: Used for the cocktail shaker to chill the drink.
- Coffee Beans: 3 coffee beans are used for garnish. They represent health, wealth and happiness. You can omit them as well.
How to Make an Espresso Martini
Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Then add vodka, Kahlua, and coffee concentrate to the shaker.
Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until combined and chilled. Strain the mixture into a martini glasses.
Add some marshmallows to a microwave safe bowl and melt for 20-30 seconds or until melted.
Using a spoon scoop the melted marshmallows and string it over back and forth of the edges to create a cob web effect.
Add 3 coffee beans to the cocktail and a plastic spider ring on the rim for garnish if you’d like.
Variations & Tips for the Best Espresso Martini
- Chill martini glass in freezer for 30 minutes to keep the cocktail cold.
- Make it decaf to skip the caffeine.
- If you like the foam on top, use a spoon to guide it out of the cocktail shaker into the glass.
- Swap out regular vodka for vanilla vodka for a sweeter taste.
