Ingredients
Martini Ingredients
- 2 fluid ounces cooled fresh espresso or strong cold brew concentrate 2 shots
- 1.5 fluid ounces high-quality vodka 3 tablespoons
- 0.5 fluid ounces coffee liqueur optional, for a richer taste, 1 tablespoon
- 1 fluid ounce unsweetened almond milk or light vanilla non-dairy creamer 2 tablespoons
- Ice
Instructions
- Chill Your Glass: Start by placing your martini or coupe glass in the freezer for a few minutes. A well-chilled glass is key to keeping your cocktail perfectly cool and refreshing throughout your enjoyment.
- Combine Ingredients: Fill a cocktail shaker generously with ice cubes. Carefully add the cooled espresso, vodka, the optional coffee liqueur for an extra kick, and the unsweetened almond milk or non-dairy creamer into the shaker.
- Shake to Perfection: Secure the lid tightly on the shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This energetic shaking ensures the drink is thoroughly chilled and creates that delightful frothy layer on top, characteristic of a perfect martini.
- Strain and Serve: Take your chilled glass from the freezer. Strain the wonderfully frothy cocktail directly into the prepared glass, leaving all the ice behind in the shaker.
Notes
Optional Garnish: For a final elegant touch, you can gently float a few whole coffee beans on top for an aromatic experience, or add a fresh lemon twist to the rim for a bright, summery flair. Enjoy your easy, cool, and energizing summer treat!
