Whatever the weather, an espresso martini is our go-to cocktail. It'll warm you up on cold nights, or perk you up on long summer evenings. It's super easy to make, and garnishing with a coffee bean makes it look instantly glam (without much effort at all).
INGREDIENTS:
30 ml coffee liqueur (we like Kahlua or Tia Maria)
30 ml Espresso coffee
30 ml Vodka
Coffee beans to garnish
METHOD:
Combine all ingredients together with cubed ice and shake. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with coffee beans.
