Coffee and vodka had a baby and it's absolutely perfect. Half drink, half dessert. Make two — you'll definitely want them.

A note from us

The frothy top is the signature of a well made espresso martini. To achieve it you need to shake very hard for at least 15-20 seconds until the shaker feels almost painful to hold. The foam comes from the proteins in the espresso being aerated during shaking — not from cream or any other addition.

How to make it 👨‍🍳

1

Pull a shot of Fresh espresso, cooled and set it aside for at least 5 minutes — hot espresso will not foam properly when shaken.

2

Put a coupe or martini glass in the freezer to chill while you work.

3

Fill a cocktail shaker with Ice.

4

Add the Vodka, Coffee liqueur (Kahlúa), and cooled espresso.

5

Shake very hard for 20 seconds — the vigour is what builds the thick foam on top.

6

Double-strain into the chilled glass: hold a fine mesh sieve over the cocktail strainer as you pour. This catches ice chips and keeps the foam intact.

7

Float the Coffee beans in the centre of the foam.
