Equipment

cocktail shaker
cocktail strainer
Jigger
coupe or martini glasses

Ingredients

2 ounces espresso, chilled
1.5 ounces vodka
1.5 ounces Baileys
1 ounce coffee liqueur (like Kahlua)
coffee beans for garnish
ice

Instructions

Fill a cocktail shaker up roughly halfway with ice. Pour in vodka, espresso, Baileys, and coffee liqueur.
Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds until the shaker is cold.
Strain the espresso martini into the glass. Garnish the foam with coffee beans. Enjoy!
We recommend enjoying this drink right away, however, you can store leftovers for up to 2 days in advance in the fridge in an airtight container.

Notes

Use high quality coffee. You want your coffee to be tasty in this drink as it makes up a large part of the flavor.
Use tasty vodka. You don't need to buy the most expensive bottle, but you want to make sure you have something you enjoy the taste of. Don't go super cheap on the vodka!
Make sure your espresso isn't hot. If you add hot espresso to the cocktail shaker with ice, it will melt it, making for a watered down drink.
Add booze to taste. If you prefer a boozier martini, add the suggested amount or more of vodka and coffee liqueur. Otherwise, scale back on the booze for a lighter tasting drink.
Shake vigorously & pour into glasses in one shot. These steps are crucial to a foamy topping.
