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 fresh, high-quality ingredients. This includes using freshly brewed espresso, good quality vodka, and fresh lime juice.
  • Make sure your espresso is strong enough. The espresso is the base of the martini, so it's important to make sure it's strong enough to stand up to the other ingredients.
  • Use a good quality vodka. Vodka is the second most important ingredient in the martini, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. There are many different ways to make an espresso martini. You can add different liqueurs, syrups, or spices to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Serve the martini chilled. Espresso martinis are best served chilled. You can chill the martini glass in the freezer before serving, or you can add ice to the martini shaker before shaking.

Conclusion:

The espresso martini is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste.
