Cocktail shaker

Ingredients

1 ounce coffee liqueur
1 ounce chilled freshly brewed espresso
2 ounces premium vodka
½ ounce homemade simple syrup
¼ ounce vanilla extract
3 roasted coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

Start by brewing a shot of espresso. Use your espresso machine or stovetop pot. Make sure to chill it after brewing to get that refreshing taste. Waiting for it to cool is worth every second!
Gather all your ingredients and tools. Ensure you have your cocktail shaker, jigger, and strainer handy. Having everything ready will make the process seamless and enjoyable.
Add the chilled espresso, coffee liqueur, vodka, simple syrup, and vanilla extract into the shaker. Precision is key here, so don't skip the jigger!
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. The goal here is to chill the mixture and create that lovely frothy texture. It should feel almost like a workout!
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. You might want to double-strain for an ultra-smooth finish.
Finally, garnish your cocktail with three roasted coffee beans on top. They’ll float elegantly, offering a tantalizing aroma with every sip.

Notes

Use Fresh Espresso: Always opt for freshly brewed espresso. It makes a world of difference in taste.
Experiment with Syrup: Adjust the sweetness by playing with the simple syrup. You can even swap it for flavored syrups like hazelnut or caramel for a fun twist.
Chill your Vodka: For the smoothest experience, chill your vodka beforehand. A cold drink is always more refreshing.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your martini right after making it. The froth and temperature will be at their peak.
Select Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your coffee liqueur and vodka, the better the overall taste of your drink. Don’t skimp on quality here!
