Method
How to make Espresso Martini
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Chill a coupe glass and prepare 30 ml fresh espresso; let it cool briefly so it does not melt the ice too quickly.
- 02
Add 40 ml vodka, 20 ml coffee liqueur, the espresso, and the optional 10 ml simple syrup to an empty shaker.
- 03
Fill the shaker about two-thirds with hard ice cubes and seal it firmly.
- 04
Shake as vigorously as possible for 15–20 seconds to chill the drink and create a dense espresso foam.
- 05
Fine-strain into the chilled coupe, keeping the stream centered so the foam settles evenly.
- 06
Wait a few seconds for the foam to set, then serve immediately without additional ice.
