Espresso Martini Recipe Ingredients
Vodka: Coffee used to be flavored with high-quality vodkas that carried only tastelessness.
Coffee liqueur: Use the brand that you prefer, espresso, which is less sweet than other coffee liqueurs and has an apparent smoky coffee taste. For Kahlua, one of the world’s most famous coffee liqueurs, Baileys is used. To make your drink as strong a coffee flavor as possible, Freedom Kahlua, for one with creamier nutrition, uses Bailey’s. To get a genuinely creamy and rich-flavored espresso martini, my secret ingredient is combining Kahlua and Baileys.
Espresso: Only a shot of espresso is required, for that matter. Any brew you wish, espresso or average/ decaf, will be selected.
Ice: A couple of ice cubes will cool your cocktail as you shake it.
Coffee beans: Most people like to use instant espresso as a garnish for coffee beans to enhance their taste.
Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean coffee blends add extra flavor to the coffee.

- Tap the side of the shaker after it’s shaken to release the hoover. Take the Martini glass and remove any ice. Next, stack the filter above the shaker and sift the contents into the glass. Use the strainer and sieve to get a thick, creamy foam.
- On top, sprinkle with three coffee beans and try to rein in your excitement.
