Equipment

  • cocktail shaker (preferably a Boston shaker)
  • strainer
  • martini glass

Ingredients

  • ice large cubes
  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz espresso chilled
  • 1 oz Kahlua
  • ½ oz Bailey's

Garnishes (optional)

  • ¼ tsp chocolate sauce
  • 2 coffee beans

Instructions

  • Garnish your martini glass with a drizzle of chocolate sauce (optional).
  • Add ice to a cocktail shaker, then pour in vodka, Kahlua, espresso, and Bailey's. Seal and shake vigorously.
  • Using a cocktail strainer, strain the mixture into the smaller shaker cup (or a separate cup). Discard the ice. Pour the martini mixture back into the shaker cup, seal, and shake again to incorporate more air into the mixture and make a rich foam.
  • Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture into the martini glass. Top with two coffee beans. Cheers!

Notes

  • Please note that nutrition facts are an estimate and can vary widely based on amounts and specific types used.
  • If you don't have espresso, you can use coffee concentrate or very strong cold brew coffee. You may not get a stable foam or as strong of a coffee flavor, but the drink will still taste good!
