Ingredients
1 oz. or 1 shot espresso or cold brew concentrate
1 oz. coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa or Mr. Black
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1 1/2 oz. vodka
Preparation
Step 1Add all ingredients to shaker and shake vigorously to completely chill the hot espresso and create foam (15 seconds).Step 2Double strain into a coupe glass. Cover half the top of the glass with a paper towel and dust the other half with espresso or cocoa powder. Garnish the plain side of the glass with coffee beans.
There are only 4 ingredients (if you don’t count ice): espresso, coffee liqueur, simple syrup and vodka. If you don’t know how to make, or can’t get a fresh shot of espresso, no fear! Though a freshly pulled shot really pulls this drink together, we have found we get similar results with 1 oz of cold brew coffee concentrate. Don’t like sugar in your coffee? Go ahead and remove that simple syrup! More of a cream and sugar type of person? Add in 1/2 an ounce of Bailey’s! We gave this drink a bit of a fancy garnish, but it’s way easier than it looks. Simply cover half the glass with a napkin or paper towel then dust the rest with either cocoa or espresso powder. Top the other side with coffee beans and voila! You have a drink that’s not only delicious but also looks stunning. If you love coffee cocktails you must try our Dalgona martini. Mostly like coffee liqueur in desserts? Try one of these boozy Bailey’s treats. If you tried making this martini, make sure you rate it and let us know what you thought of it below.
