I make mine less sweet and more Irish as an equal parts cocktail with Irish whiskey and coffee liqueur:

1 oz Irish whiskey
1 oz coffee liqueur
1 oz Irish cream
1 oz espresso

You can also try blanco or reposado tequila and light or dark rum in place of the whiskey for interesting variations.

This was so sweet! Amazing for a dessert.

First of all, I like espresso, I really like espresso !
So tonight I decided to make the Irish espresso martine with a double shot of espresso.
For me it is much better than with one shot

Hi Bobb, hopefully the verdict was 'delicious'?!

Love this twist on the popular Espresso Martini. At the end of the night, this is subtle, smooth and not such a smack in the face as some can be. Beautifully subtle and elegant.
